The first night was fine. The hotel is dated and dark but appeared to be clean. There was a smell I couldn’t identify but I figured we will be at the jazz festival, we won’t be impacted by it much. The night of May 24th, we arrived back from the jazz festival and showered and was getting ready for bed only to see a roach crawling on the wall then my husband discovered on crawling across the floor. We called the front desk, the lady comes and sees us he roaches and offers us another room. Wait, what? You all have roaches, it was then that I identified the smell, they had fumigated. The naive front desk person believed that roaches in one room is not an indicator of roaches throughout the facility. The fumigation was NOT a preemptive measure because they already have roaches. The naive young lady said maintenance is not here so I cannot have them spray, which indicated to me, that this is their routine process for this routine complaint. I asked for a refund for the last night because my husband and I packed so quickly and drove several hours home, tired and exhausted from our enjoyment In Jacksonville, the young lady put me off and asked that I call to speak with a manager in the morning. I called and was put off again and referred to guest relations. I am hopeful that Hotels.com will honor our request, otherwise I will dispute the entire booking with my credit card. What a terrible ending to a great weekend.
