Property had roaches. I had to kill multiple roaches a day.
The property is in a great location. Upon check in, two of the beds sheets were dirty but the management company took care of it right away. After a few days we noticed roaches on the front porch so we stopped using it. Two days after we saw the roaches outside, we started seeing them inside in the kitchen and bathroom. We had to kill multiple roaches (small brown and large “Palmetto” bugs) on multiple days. I understand this is in the south near swap lands but for the amount of money this property is per night, I didn’t expect to have to kill multiple roaches on multiple days. We packed up our remaining food from to refrigerator and brought it home in a cooler bag. While unpacking the bag, I found a roach inside. I was told this place is treated for roaches but in my opinion it’s as frequent as it should be.
