Frassed, would need some dorsal pictures for a species ID...
Considering it was in a hotel however, I am leaning towards B.germanica. Still could be one of the other Blattella though, IDK.

Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

Pretty sure it's genus Blattella
due to the distinctive pronotum stripes.

This might be German, but it could be one of the harmless outdoors species which had wandered inside by accident. Wait for expert confirmation.

Sounds Right
Probably the right genus could also be the species Blattella asahinai. The image may be to blurry for a positive ID.
