Disliked: Amenities
I didn’t enjoy my stay. There was no microwave in my room. Even upon request with the front desk via a phone call, it wasn’t brought. No water in the room. I had to go down to get water from the dispenser throughout my stay. My room wasn’t cleaned at 11:00. I was charged $1 security deposit which hasn’t been refunded, despite calling. I won’t recommend.
