I called several times the front desk for a bottle of water, the gentleman and lady said they do not provide water, and market is closed, we will have to wait to the following day. Heater wasn’t working, they sent the technician in two days, we stayed there 4 days. What’s the point? I DO NOT remember any hotel I stayed at tha didn’t provide me a bottle of water. Lack of communication with the staff, horrible nothing but horrible
