There was no telephone in the room. You had to go down to the front desk with any issues. Most of the time, there was only one person or no one to help you. The neighborhood around the hotel was unsafe. I was charged an extra fee after checking out 2 weeks ago that I'm still getting the run around for concerning the reason for the charge.
