missing coffee maker narrow street

The breakfast was acceptable (nothing special).

I found several issues . The absence of a coffee maker in the room was a disappointment. the promised complimentary water was only provided on the first day, I thought this was unacceptable and i had to pay for it after the first day. The uber drivers would not pick up or drop me off in front of the hotel due to the narrow one way street, I had to walk a block up the hill in the rain.
