Unfriendly and rude front desk employee Nadja

We could not find the hotel, it's out of the way and very difficult to find, no street signs, we got lost looking for the hotel, we called the hotel several times and got no help from Nadja that works at the front desk, she actually hung up on me the second time I called, the first time she put me on hold, mind you that we had just arrived from the States and we were in much distress, we had jet lag and being lost for 2 hours, we had the local police help with a map and proper directions, once we arrived at the hotel Nadja that worked at the front desk was rude and sarcastic , we asked for the hotel manager but she never passed on the message.Very bad experience for us that paid in advance and had no other place to go.
