I was lying in bed one night and saw a cockroach walking acrossnthe floor. It was as long as one of my fingers. I called the front desk and they sent someone up immediately. I asked the person if he has seen any cockroaches at the hotel before and he told me "no". After giving the bug a second look, he told me that it was not a cockroach but just a water bug. I think he thought that I was stupid. Not 15 minutes later, I found another cockroach in the bathroom. It was about the same size as the first one. The manager, Lee came to the room this time, but could not find it. He was apologetic but there was not much he could do. He told me to stop bynthe front desk the next morning to have housekeeping thoroughly clean the room while I was gone for the day. The lady at the front desk was made aware of my situation from the previous night and apparently thought it was funny. When I returned that night, I was told that the room was cleaned but no roaches were found. Fortunately, I only had one more night at the hotel. This will be the last time I stay in this hotel and am considering not staying in the Holiday Inn chains ever. I spend over 100 nights/year in hotels. I find that Marriotts and Hyatts are better, in general. Even better than the Crowne Plazas.
