Dear Sherry, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback from your recent stay with us. I sincerely apologize that you encountered a pest in our hotel. We employ a third-party pest company to ensure that incidents of this nature do not occur in our building or around our property. it is disheartening to hear that these efforts were not successful in preventing an incident. Your experience has been shared with them so that we can ensure it is not repeated for future guests.
