So if some one reports bed bugs they most likely brought them in. Its unfortunate but true. If they report them the firs day that is different, it means they may have been overlooked while being cleaned but that is highly unlikely. You can not stay an entire week and then report bed bugs, of course you will be kicked out. When bed bugs is definitely found we have to fumigate the room itself and the surrounding rooms, just to be safe.

Safety and cleanliness is our top priority.

The reason that Value place has bed bugs is… They wait 2 weeks after the bed bug is reported and confirmed from (Fairfield, Ohio) Ecolab.. All of the other companies that Ecolab services have the bed bugs sprayed the same day!

It takes about 2 weeks for the paperwork to go thru and then Ecolab gets the ok to spray..This is why they have a problem..

The owner of the Fairfield location is also the owner of the Fort Wayne ind location..Owner is Cole Elis 614-469-8222 and area manager Chris arguello 317-513-1372 and VP of operations how had bed bugs Chris Metcalf.
hey how about some emails for these guys!!!!

Owner: coleellis@sbcglobal.net

Area manager: carguello@valueplace.com

VP of Operations: cmetcalf@valueplace.com

Oh before I forget David Redfern is the VP’s BOSS! call 1-800-value place and for David personally!

Fort wayne has the same problems.. In feb 2010 fairfield had 42 rooms down because of bed bugs? ahhhh they only have a total of 119 rooms and 3 of those rooms have employees staying in them.. All of the hotels have the same problems because of the way they handle the bed bugs!

I you ever say at value place and see beds and bed frames and mattresses being put in the dumpsters.. watch out its bed bugs!

More to come later!!

I commend this company, I have not had to stay at a value place, but I will try it because of the genuine concern she shows in replying to this post. we cannot all take to heart what is reported in the news, the news is meant to incite drama, if we fall for it, we become uneducated consumers.

The deposit and first week’s stay were put on my credit card. When he checked out, the site manager told him the linens were missing and the comforter had a cigarette burn and stain on it that would require keeping my deposit. He reminded here that he had turned in the linens previously and purchased his own because the sheets put on the bed were stained and dingy. He also reminded here that he was a non-smoker in a smoking room and had no smoking company as he worked before daylight until after dark.

She agreed and said she would try to get the stain out. When my daughter contacted the corporate office about this lady’s attitude, they were told she would not even try to get out the stain because they called corporate on her and she would be keeping the deposit. There is much more involved at this point and I have contacted my credit card company and an attorney.

What our Kansas City franchisee should have added was that they recently invested $40,000 to ensure overall cleanliness of the property which included a professional inspection for bed bugs, and added special mattress pad covers to help prevent bed bugs.

Performing routine inspections, focusing on high cleanliness standards, and training property staff are all good preventative measures and are common practice in our hotel system. And, it is frequently and unfortunately a fact that bed bugs are brought in with a guest.

Since this facility had very recently been certified clean, we returned the money for Ms. Trotter’s stay to the non-profit group that had paid on her behalf. Since Ms. Trotter’s departure, the surrounding hotel rooms have been inspected and we have found no further evidence of bed bugs and the room in which she was staying has been treated and is now free of bed bugs.

We continue to make health safety, cleanliness and affordable shelter for our guests our highest priorities.
