I found a half dead giant cockroach gimpcrawling on the carpet. I had to smash it putting tissue over it and then throwing it in the trash. When I told the staff they gave me 2 complimentary breakfast vouchers and the thought of eating at that moment, I nearly barfed on the dude's hands as he handed them to me.

Not as good as the past

Arrived at 2:30 and was told there would be a $35 early checkin fee, I declined and came back later in the day. Is this a new fee? Also in the past because I am a BW member I’m handed a bag of bottled water and some other goodies but not this time. Was told if I wanted water there was a filling station in the lobby. Also this time I did not feel safe ( was armed) but did not report to management as if they didn’t care about the small things they probably would definitely not care about my safety.
