Woke up to a ROACH

There was a bit of a wait for check - in The mattress sunk while I slept BUT the ultimate DISGUST was to wake up and see a ROACH crawling on the nightstand behind your bed! Since I booked through Hotel.com, I was UNBLE to get any type of refund!

We have known and used this property for years. The reason we return frequently is because of the highly convenient location and a few long-serving staff members. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although the lack of a safe is inconvenient. In the past we have enjoyed breakfasts, with the chef prepared omelets, but the recent price increases mean we will no longer do so. The valet parking is ridiculously over-priced. Fortunately there are nearby reasonable options. The fact that there are blue recycling bins provided in the rooms is mere virtue-signaling; we have seen the room staff combining waste and recycling bins in the same container. They confirm that they are told to do so.

I would like to express my disappointment regarding several issues during my recent stay. First, I was initially given a room located next to the central garbage system. The entire room was shaking every five minutes, making it extremely uncomfortable. After I raised this issue, my room was changed upon request, and the new one is much better and quiet — I appreciate that adjustment. However, another issue occurred with my breakfast. Although I had already paid for it, I was told that it was not included and had to locate my reservation to prove it. Only after showing the confirmation did the staff acknowledge the mistake. Additionally, the breakfast service itself was unacceptable — it was poorly organized, offered very limited options, served in a crowded area, and the overall food quality was disappointing. This kind of service is not acceptable. Guests should not have to repeatedly ask for or prove what they have already paid for, and the quality of basic amenities should meet reasonable expectations. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, and that appropriate measures will be implemented to prevent such experiences in the future. Sincerely,
