I'm 50 and this is my worst hotel experience ever

My stay started out somewhat friendly and things went downhill The first room they offered me smelled like dog urine so they switch me to a second room I get in there it's seems not too bad at the first then in the middle of the night is when it all happened German roaches everywhere crawling on me coming out of the walls cracks it was awful I just didn't want to bother no one when I noticed it I thought oh I have three more hours till it's 6:00 then I tried to check out they said no problem they're going to refund me my next day cuz if there is no way I was going to shower in this place and even have a letter from them email stating that they would give me my money back well obviously can't they can't afford it they couldn't afford pest control or they don't care worst hotel experience ever Don't do it stay away from this place
