I booked room 312 at the Rodeway Inn for Friday 10/25. I was going to a concert in NYC so after checking in quickly I left. The few initial minutes I was there the room didn’t look completely awful- adequate enough just to sleep in, although it was stuffy and there was drywall dust all over the floor. After returning from the city I turned the lights on in the room and it was like Joe’s Apartment- cockroaches scattered. Taking a better look at the room I found cockroach feces ALL over the bathroom, cockroaches in the bed and in the microwave, there were even cockroaches swimming in the toilet like it was their own personal pool. After packing my things I called down to the night clerk who basically said all but “too bad there’s nothing we can do”. I drove 6 hours back home because I don’t particularly feel comfortable snuggling with cockroaches (they can carry bacteria, parasites, and diseases). I called Expedia (who I booked through) the next day and they gave me the run around as did the hotel manager, who apparently ended up declining my refund on Sunday. I then spent that whole day and night calling the hotel repeatedly- over and over and over. The next day I was finally able to speak with the manager and after explaining that the cockroaches and their bucketloads of poop weren’t advertised as being part of the room, he approved my refund.
If you like stuffy, unsanitary, cockroach filled rooms with awful hotel staff in an inconvenient area- this is your place!!!
