Inconsistent stay

good locationvague directionsannoyed receptionist
The location is good. It is close to the main attractions.
My arrival was frustrating. I was not informed about road closures and directions to the hotel were vague, a MAJOR inconvenience. When I called for assistance, the receptionist sounded annoyed, I REALLY HATED THAT.
