"Breakfast very expensive so we went elsewhere. Went to eat at the rooftop restaurant and wanted to charge it to room but couldn’t the waitress called desk and came back and said room did not have credit, this has never happened to me in a hotel so wonder why? Also water only given to room on first day.why?? No shuttle from airport made this inconvenient so won t stay here again."
