You won't get a recommendation from me!

On the third night of a six night stay, I walked into the bathroom at l a.m. and saw a COCKEROACH on the wall!! Screamed for my husband, he flushed it down the toilet. Next day I told the man at reception, he couldn't understand what I was talking about at first,then after alot of pantomiming, he realized what I was talking about, said he would report it to the Manager. After breakfast I went back to reception desk and enquired, Manager said they will take care of it and he also said that it happens .... The day before we were to leave for London we asked at reception if they could reserve a taxi for us for the next morning....we were told that this was not necessary, to just inform them 20 minutes before we required the cab. So, the following morning as we went for breakfast we asked the desk to call us a cab, they said they would. Following breakfast we came back to the lobby and again enquired about our cab. At this time, another man told us that there is no cabs available from the company that they deal with and that we will have to walk down with our luggage to the taxi stand and get one there!!! In Paris it can be easy OR it can be very difficult to get a cab. At taxi stands, people jump in front of others for a cab...cab drivers pick and choose who they will take. It's difficult...and we were quite upset at they way the hotel treated us in both instances. What hotel sends their guests out in the street full of bags and says get your own cab?
