A stomach turning experience

I did not enjoy my stay. The first morning I went downstairs to get coffee. The cream wasn’t coming out, so I opened the lid and found a big black bug or fly. The coffee was horrible, and it looked like it had been sitting there for a while.. We were not told about the buttons in the room requesting cleaning or privacy. This hotel is way overpriced.

I was originally giving a ground floor room. As a solo female traveler, a ground floor room with a patio door facing the parking lot it is not safe. The shower was not properly cleaned as it had hair on the shower walls.

Our room had sheets that had holes in them , a spider in the shower and a beetle on the bed. There was construction right outside our room so blinds had to be drawn the entire day for privacy as men were driving right by on machines that looked into our ground level room . The toilet ran water all night and the thermostat continually blinked a bright flashing light all night , lighting up the room. The bed was uncomfortable. There was also a dog in the room next to us that barked most of the evening . The staff were very friendly , the location was good, but I don’t feel this was worth the money we paid for it overall .

The place looks old, and probably short of staffs, very unprofessional. I am disappointed once I entered the hotel Lobby seeing the front desk staff vacuuming the floor, when I walked to the elevator, a very strong bleach smell came from the elevator, they probably used too much bleach. Staffs are probably not trained properly for cleaning.
