Relax Inn & Suites On August 6, I booked at your property. The room’s condition was unacceptable and posed a health hazard, including: • Holes in the bedding • Live roaches present • General uncleanliness and unsafe conditions It was not fit for occupancy and was forced to secure alternate lodging.
