underwhelming stay, security deposit issue

security deposit lack of transparency
the location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
i am annoyed that the hotel charged a security deposit. i was informed it would be refunded to my card upon checkout, however, it was not. contacting the hotel after leaving the country to resolve this is quite a hassle. i am frustrated by this lack of transparency and the difficulty in getting my money back. the communication felt dishonest.
