decent location, disappointing service

central locationunresponsive staffsubpar cleaning

the hotel has a good location near the town center.

The staff seemed uninterested in assisting with basic requests. For example, i asked for help with the safe, but no one ever came. cleaning was also subpar. I suspected the bedsheets were not changed after the previous guests. the hotel layout is confusing, and staff did not offer any orientation, so it was hard to find things.
