The fridge and heating/ac wasn’t working. Call front desk same day and was told maintenance would come in the morning when they get in at 7am. No one came. Our leftovers went bad. Left several msgs to speak with a manager since I left and no one has returned my call.

I was surprised there were no cookies and coffee or muffins in the lobby for guests that are arriving. I was also shocked at the fact when I asked the front desk for additional water after my first day since I was staying five days she told me the two bottles of water are only for guest when they arrive. I reminded her I was staying for five consecutive nights and she told me I could buy water eventually she gave me two bottles of water, but I was very disappointed in this service.
