The front desk clerk was rude and very disrespectful. I guess he was having a bad morning before I came, but he was totally out of line. He called me the N word and that struck a nerve with me so I responded with how I was feeling. Very disrespectful

I found two roaches in my room had to be replaced into a different room. After being replaced into that different room, there was a privacy issue with the curtains, not being able to close. I didn’t complain about it because I felt like roaches are a bigger issue. The area outside of the hotel had a lot of garbage laying around and there’s a lot of prostitution
