The conditions make me question my stay

I would really like to speak to some one about my stay I have pictures. The room had water, restroom and a bed sleep but Nats spider and insects. A big went in my sons ear wile he was asleep. thankful when he got up my wife brushed it out his ear. Nasty mold or growth in shower curtain window. I don’t know if that shampoo was left behind or came with the room it says red roof in. I did not dare to use. We had no where to throw trash as all cans were full over filling
