Liked: Amenities
I am not used to having to pay a security deposit against meal or bar charges incurred during the stay, but I am told that is the thing these days. On the other hand, it was promptly refunded when we checked out.
The service provided at this hotel was disappointing. The staff never picks up the phone and no one is at the front desk at night to provide assistance.
