I'm 50 and this is my worst hotel experience ever

My stay started out somewhat friendly and things went downhill The first room they offered me smelled like dog urine so they switch me to a second room I get in there it's seems not too bad at the first then in the middle of the night is when it all happened German roaches everywhere crawling on me coming out of the walls cracks it was awful I just didn't want to bother no one when I noticed it I thought oh I have three more hours till it's 6:00 then I tried to check out they said no problem they're going to refund me my next day cuz if there is no way I was going to shower in this place and even have a letter from them email stating that they would give me my money back well obviously can't they can't afford it they couldn't afford pest control or they don't care worst hotel experience ever Don't do it stay away from this place

there was to much noise, the front desk lady named Sonia was very professional and kind, but the area of the hotel is too loud at late evening with the people upstairs. the area has a lot of homeless. but the room is very very clean! Its just the kind of people that stay there. and the key did not work......but as soon as we went to the front desk it was fixed.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Shower handle broke off, checked in late and wasn’t gonna switch rooms late at night, shower head sprayed water from the neck that connected to the shower head. Put a wash cloth so it wouldn’t spray everywhere. Told hostess and she apologized, didn’t expect much other than an apology. Definitely not staying again, a one night business trip
