What's bugging us...

It startedboff delightful as the lobby and staff were very nice. The rooms are large and comfortable. However after showering we discovered ants inthe bathroom and on the counter. The front desk responded and gave us another room. This was at 10 pm. The new room waa on the second floor which we discovered in the morning also had ants in the bathtub.
