Roach Haven

"Roach Haven" - Scheduled for 3 nights at Woodspring-Denton.  Saw a roach day one & reported it to front desk (clerk said she'd tell the manager).  I asked if they had any spray and was told no.  This didn't seem logical to me if you know, you have roaches.  A few more roaches began to show themselves.  Day two, spoke to the mgr that morning to confirm the incident at which time he logged it in a book and indicated pest control would be out that day.  I asked a different clerk for some insect spray ... she gave me a can of spray (hmmm ... very odd since I was told they didn't have any the day before). I sprayed the room.  Pest control didn't make it out until the next morning at 8:20.  They sprayed and the roach fest(ival) was on ... as the insecticide drove more of them out of hiding.  This made for an edgy time ... the pinnacle of which was when a roach crawled on one of us that night as we were sleeping.  Shaking my head. Throwing up my hands.

Beds were really comfortable and it was in proximity to a lot of restaurants and things to do. The only thing I will mention is that it has an interesting smell to it but if that doesn’t matter much then I recommend booking.
