Call an exterminator!
My boyfriend and I decided to book our stay at The Opal because of the low price and overall positive reviews. We arrived late in the evening, and I immediately felt that this was not an area in which I'd be comfortable walking around, even during the day. The hotel provides only the most basic amenities and is quite old and in need of some updates; our room smelled musty and the carpet was very damp upon arrival. The walls are very thin; we were able to hear everyone passing in the hallway, as well as the people in the room next door, very clearly. On this first impression, I would have given The Opal an average review. 
However, one morning after my shower, I found a dead cockroach in my bath towel! Needless to say, I refused to stay there another night. We requested a refund for the unused night and parking. What troubles me most about this incident is the fact that someone in the laundry room could overlook a dead cockroach while folding towels. What else is being overlooked by the staff at this hotel?
