"There was a discrepancy with deposit fees that was not mentioned in the hotel listing, compared to every other property. It came as a surprise to me and I felt a bit deceived as I'm coming from a country that only gives me a certain amount of USD limit per month and I have to put in a request to raise that limit.

"It's a nice place, very convenient to shops and restaurants. However, like Mark Twain said "the coldest winter is San Francisco in the summer." I was there in January, the heater in my room wasn't working in my room.

The maintenance staff told me the heater would kick in when it's set above 90 degree. I used hair dryer to...
