No staff to be seen

Room was ok, but for the price I was expecting an ensuite. Someone was there to give me a key but that was the last I saw of the staff. I noticed later another guest had their key sticky tapped to the door in an envelope. Breakfast between 8:30 and 9:30. I had to leave for a train at 8:40, but again no staff so no breakfast. If it was supposed to be self serve that wasn't explained. No wonder it was half empty.
