5 Star Hotel?

We checked into the Cola de Caballo hotel in San Tiago, Mexico. Much larger than our previous hotel; however, I doubt its claim to 5 stars. We got a king size bed and put David in a cot the hotel brought in for us. David's luck kept holding out...his little cot was much more comfortable than our king size bed! Our bed has been so hard it was unbearable! The next morning we spoke to the front desk to see what they could do. They showed us another room but that bed was just as hard. Not only was the mattress super hard but it had not box spring. The mattress was sitting on a concrete platform!! The solution we ended up with is getting two of the mattresses they use for their cots and putting it on our bed!

Additionally, the first morning we woke up to a surprise! Apparently we were sharing the room with other guests as well! I have never heard such a shrill scream from Heather when she saw this huge cockroach! It must be a girl thing.

The hotel staff has been wonderful. Just a few things I think needs to be improved upon...the beds...the restaurant...and the unwanted guests!
