Basic stay with some issues

unprofessional behaviorhigh bed
The reception staff displayed unprofessional behavior upon my arrival. I immediately felt unwelcome, not a great start. The furniture seemed quite old. The bed was unusually high. It posed a risk of someone falling during the night (definitely not child friendly).
