Roach In The Bed
There was a roach crawling on the empty bed. The attendant was very apologetic about it. But would reimburse me my money for the nights paid for because it was booked there a third party. Of course, I was moved to a different room. If not for that I would have rated them higher. If there is one roach there are more somewhere. I should be reimbursed for this stay by Hotels.com.
I have videos to but there is not a place to upload them.
