Unsanitary room #241

The staff were friendly however the room was not clean nor sanitary. A Roach scurried across the room, an open liquor bottle packed with cigarettes was left behind, dried blood on the bathroom floor and gum in the shower. I reached out to management hopefully someone can get back to me.
