Daytona Beach Shores Motels

We booked the motel for three nights. At first we encountered an unclear online registration form and after registration it was not clear whether we would get the door lock codes into that system. It turns out that it was necessary to call, but it was difficult to get in touch because we did not have a local connection. The room looked normal at first, but the bedding was very wet, it felt like you're sleeping in a puddle. While searching the hair dryer, I saw a huge beetle in the bathroom drawer, it looked like a cockroach, but maybe it's another local insect. I realized that we can't stay there and immediately contacted the host, who told her to write to her via whatsapp at any time. We immediately booked another hotel. In the morning we found another huge bug in the sink. I couldn't sleep all night, both because of the humidity and because of those other guests in the room. We moved out the next morning after spending one night out of three. Unfortunately, the host did not read the message that day or the following days. Didn't respond to messages in the *********** system either, so we contacted *********** customer service. They took great care of us throughout the process. I tried to call the host one more time, during the conversation she did not apologize for our experience, she said that they had never had such complaints, that the insects might have appeared after the storm. But we found them in a drawer, so why doesn't anyone tidy up the room before the guests arrive? Then the general cleanliness of the room, which is so well regarded in their property, can also be questioned. She promised to come back within 24 hours and talk to the owners about compensation, but already during the conversation she said that they probably won't compensate anything. We only asked for a refund for the two days we didn't spend there. She didn't call back, didn't reply to messages or even read them. Two weeks later, we received a reply from *********** customer service that negotiations with the motel had failed and they offered a small compensation for our experience, which they would return to booking.com's virtual wallet. This is my first such disappointment, when you can't come to an agreement with a person and the property does not care at all about the guests' experience or communication. We were really patient and polite with them, however, I must share this experience with future guests.
