Cockroaches …. Cockroaches…. Cockroaches!!! I ended up having to get a room late Friday night at Extended Stay- San Rafael. The room rates were pretty good for the area, and the reviews read about average. It was a late check in and did not get a warm welcome from the front desk person. In addition to the front desk person being mildly rude, the lobby had an odor. Once I got checked into my room, it was late - around midnight and time for bed . Used the rest room and returned to my bed , only to find a cockroach on the pillow! I immediately called the front desk and told them the situation. . It was a new front desk person who was kind and responsive . The front desk person gave me an updrade to the room and apologized, When I walked in to the new room, I walked in about 5 feet and noticed a cockroach on the wall, and another one after that 2 feet away. I deemed the hotel unsanitary and told the front desk person I could not stay there ! I didn’t want to bring roaches back home to my wife and kids ! I then checked out and had to drive around town at 1:00 am in the morning - looking for an upscale - clean hotel .
To add insult to injury , the Extended Stay through the ******* customer support would not refund me the cost of the room due to the 24 hour no refund policy . I guess the policy doesn’t apply to bug infestation.
