Roaches in the room. Room had an odor. Agent gave me an attitude when I told him I hope they fixed the bathroom because it wouldn’t flash. The bathroom toilet was shaking when you seat on it. I can’t belive I am saying this but housekeeping supervisor was very rude towards us when I told her my toilet is not flushing. Very loud in the early morning considering the hotel is less then 100 feet from the major road.

We did not check in. Photographs of the hotel demonstrated/advertised a continental breakfast arrangement. When we arrived there was no such offering. This constitutes false advertising and we cancelled the reservation without checking in and have requested a refund.
