Hotel Bedbugs


I’ve had a lot of visitors ask me if I can do research on infestations at hotels; what they are after is sign that the hotel has had bedbugs in the past. In the past, I do the research and send off an email but I’ve decided to move everything to a page where everyone can read the outcome of my findings.

Hotels, even the best kept hotels in the world, can end up with a bedbug infestation. How the hotel handles complaints and how fast they act to stop the spread of bugs is the most important question.

Unfortunately, there are a number of hotels that place the blame on the visitor rather than pay for treatment. These hotels usually stand out like a sore thumb when doing research.

Perhaps you are concerned about the hotel you’ll be staying at? Perhaps you are one of those unfortunate people who were bitten and would like to verify the hotel’s claim that such a problem has never occurred before? Whatever the case may be, I’ll do my best to research the hotel and provide links to support my findings. We’ve developed a very efficient way of researching hotel bedbug complaints and it’s a completely free service.

How to Check your Hotel for Bedbug Complaints

Simply leave a comment below with the name and address of the hotel you’re concerned with and we’ll take it from there. If you have been bitten and/or can take a picture of the infested hotel room, please send it to us and we’ll try to get it up on the site. Pictures not only serve as evidence, but can also be referred to when dealing with management.

    Bedbug Bites from hotel - Anne 1 of 5Bedbug Bites from hotel - Anne 2 of 5Bedbug Bites from hotel - Anne 3 of 5Bedbug Bites from hotel - Anne 4 of 5Bedbug Bites from hotel - Anne 5 of 5

    This is a very small sampling of photos taken of bites that occurred during our stay at the Hotel Del Coronado 7/24-26, 2010. We notified the front desk in person, hotel security (while showing them the bites on all five of us), and we reported the problem to guest relations in an online “guest satisfaction survey.” We explained these are much longer lasting, widespread and severe than spider or mosquito bites.

    The front desk then security both accused us of picking up the bites at the beach; we explained to each that we never visited the beach because it was too cold. We then reported both conversations in the online “guest satisfaction” survey. We have heard absolutely nothing in response. Our three children are all suffering bad allergic reactions from the bites that occurred in this hotel.

  12. Joe says:

    All four of us got bed bug bites at Hotel Batignolles Villiers (11 rue de Batignolles, Paris, France) about one week ago. I’m sending pictures showing hundreds of bites to badbedbugs.gmail. A few questions:

    * can you find any previous complaints against this hotel?

    * since we live in the US, how can we take legal action against this hotel in France? What is the procedure: do we hire a lawyer in the US first, or do we contact the hotel first and see how they respond?

    * is there an agency (like Better Business Bureau) that we can contact to register our complaint?

    We have already spent hundreds of dollars to deal with the infestation that we inadvertently brought to our home from the contamination in that hotel.

    I stayed in

    Knights Inn Downtown San Francisco
    240 7th Street
    San Francisco, CA 94103-4004 US
    Phone: 415-861-6469

    from 7/16/2010 – 7/19/2010. I saw couple of bugs in the hotel room but did not complaint about it because I had read many reviews about bed bugs in the hotel. Now after I checked out from the hotel I have been charged $250 because they accused me of bringing the bed bugs in the room. Its ridiculous that I have to pay such a huge amount for something I did not even do. Is there anything I can do so I can avoid the fine?

    Hello.. i stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in Pa. twice within the last 3 months. I came home itchy both times and i had some bites but not sure they were bed bugs. I went through my suitcase today after it sitting in my room for almost a month and low and behold found a dead bedbug. Oh My God! is all i can say. I am thouroughly going through EVERYTHING now. I don’t see any in my home mattresses or haven’t seen one out of the suitcase but it is scary enough. It was dead but didn’t look that old, it can be about a month old and was a big one! I am going to call Great wolf and ask them to inspect the two rooms i was last in.

    I just returned from Sicily, where I stayed at La Casetta B and B at 12 Via Giulia in Ragusa-Ibla. While I didn’t know what to check for when I was there, I did notice blood stains on the sheets, and I awoke almost every night, feeling like I was being bitten. I didn’t have any symptoms until after I returned home, 8 days after my first night there. This is my second full day of feeling itchy, and I estimate that I have about 250 bites on my entire body.

They didnt even look and said we doubt thats what it is because we have an exterminator here once a week. Is that common practice or do they know they have a problem and put us in the room anyway? If we come home with them can we get them to pay our extermination fees?

  49. April says:

    Stayed in room 123 at the Super 8 in Hudsonville, Michigan. We kept seeing tiny black bugs in the bottom of our white shopping bags and we thought nothing of it until the next day when we found a bigger dead bug in the bed. I looked up bed bugs and the description matched the bug perfectly. We told the front desk and they didn’t seem concered they just said they would look into it. We now have them at home and my daughter is covered in bites.

    We just got back from a visit to Pigeon Forge, TN. We stayed at the Inn at Christmas Place, one of the most upscale hotels in the city. My husband has at least 33 bed bug bites from that one-night stay. I have reported to the manager that we were bitten, and was told they would check the room we stayed in. We were not offered a refund or compensation of any kind. The manager was polite, but suggested maybe the bites were from a reaction to the water in the pool (we didn’t even use the pool) or maybe some other types of bug bites. I told him I was sure they were bed bug bites, confirmed by tons of pictures and descriptions online. He said the main manager would give us a return call, but we haven’t heard anything so far.

    I’m currently here in Donau Hotel in Ingolstadt Germany. 4 of my friends live in the 4 other separate rooms. But when I woke up, I had these red bumps on my skin. I though I got it from the food I ate… When I found out about bed bugs, I quickly checked my bed and I saw a big one crawling on my bed… I caught it and put it in a container… I will be putting pictures of it here…

    Do you have any reports of bed bug infestations at the Motel 6 in St. George, Utah? We stayed one night and the place was “OK”, but since leaving, have had red bites on arms and legs, my husband has some on his head and I’m terrified we’ve brought them home. Thanks

  65. Virginia Howard says:

    Bianca & Tracey,

    I am currently living through the nightmare of having brought home bb’s after staying in an infested room at a Holiday Inn Express for 1 night. Do not underestimate these nasty critters !! You did the right thing by washing clothes in hot water and drying in hot. Make sure you dry for at least 30 mins. But PLEASE take my advise and throw away the suitcase and laptop case. Leaving in plastic for one week will not do anything. BB’s can live 1 year to 18 mths without feeding. It only takes 1 pregnant female to infest your home and put much more expensive things like your furniture, computer, etc in danger.
    If I had known then what I know now I would have thrown away everything I brought with me, bought some cheap clothes, taken a hot shower and come home. The eggs are so miniscule that you cannot always see them even upon close inspection.
    If you are already home and begin noticing bites within 1-2 weeks after returning, especially if they appear in a breakfast/lunch/dinner pattern of 2-3 bites at a time, you have brought them with you and should waste no time in calling a professional pest control service. Spraying alcohol on your headboard or other items will only make them go into hibernation and show up again 3 mths to a year from now. Do not procrastinate. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get rid of them.

  66. Kelly says:

  67. Lelia says:

    I stayed at the Embassy Suites in Orlando on the weekend of Jun 11-15, 2010 and I have since become covered with bites from head to toe. I started itching on the 14th and 15th but thought it was because of mosquitoes. I am now covered with large, itchy, whelps on my back, buttocks, legs (upper and lower), arms, hands, and neck.

    I am miserable from the itching and ugly signs of being eaten alive. I have over 100 bites and nothing is helping the itching. I have been to the doctor and they were amazed by the allergic response to the bites. They gave me anti-itch medicine because Benadryl wasn’t helping and a steriod ointment for topical relief.

    What can I do? Is there any health agency that inspects hotel rooms and follows up on hotels?

  68. DeAnne says:

    I recently stayed at the Hyatt in Princeton New Jersey and was bit about 50 times on my arms and legs. At first I though I had spider or mosquito bites but after researching I now know they are bed bug bites. I am totally disgusted. I never thought that this would happen at a nice hotel like the Hilton Hyatt! I threw out my luggage and washed all my clothes as soon as I got home. Do I need to worry about my kids (little kids) and husband catching this?
    Thanks

    Hi Jim,

    Just stayed at the Best Western in the Bronx 6/16 overnight. Today my son woke up with several red welt-like bites. Any reports on this hotel?

    Best Western Bronx Inn
    1440 Sheridan Expressway
    Bronx, NY

    Thank you!

  70. Bianca says:

    Hyatt Place
    575 Park Plaza Drive
    Secaucus, NJ

    The first morning, we thought there might have been a mosquito feasting on us the night before. But by a little later in the day the bites were feeling worse and my boyfriend’s arm was quite swollen. That night I told the hotel about it and they said they had inspected our bed while we were out to diner and changed the sheets.

    This morning we woke up with 2x as many bites and I have 3 on my face. Its driving us nuts!!! I went to the manager AGAIN and she said she’d move our room. I asked her to come insect the bed WITH me and didn’t find any live bugs, but found the little black dots and one carcass which i snapped a picture of before she leaned in and said “oh that’s just lint” and obliterated it.

    they moved our room, but I’m terrified that we brought them with us. I’m not the emotional type, and i burst into tears when the manager said to me, “well, we can comp you a night for the inconvenience.” INCONVENIENCE?!?!? I’m scared to go to sleep because things are BITING ME!

    We are here for work, so we can’t switch hotels because all the rooms are booked here, but no one else is having a problem. Meanwhile, we’re losing our minds.

    How can I avoid bringing them home???

  71. Arian Coffman says:

    El Monte Sagrado Resort, 317 Kit Carson Rd, Taos, NM
    Date of Stay: June 8-9, 2010

    When we went to bed at night, small brown bugs crawled out from near the headboard. We killed the bugs, hoping it was an anomaly. However, that night we felt as if bugs were crawling on us. A search in the morning showed no bugs. The next night we checked the bed thoroughly before getting in, but we did not find bugs. But when we got in, a couple of bugs again crawled out from the headboard.

    Again, we killed the bugs, but since it was only a couple, and the hour was late, we did not request a room change. We were awoken in the night by the sensation of bugs crawling on us. When we got up, we had several welts on us from bug bites. Yep, you guessed it, bed bugs. We went down to complain to the manager who was not in.

    We spoke to the front desk supervisor, who was quite nice and told us one night of our stay would be refunded. He said that the manager would call us and possibly refund both nights. The manager phoned us later that morning and reneged on the free night, only offering to refund 50% off the second night. After much discussion, he raised the offer to 75%, but after MORE discussion finally agreed to refund all of the second night.

    The manager promised to email us a receipt of the refund but never did. The full amount was just charged to our credit card. We also had to destroy our luggage when we arrived home and are hoping we did not bring an infestation home with us. We are stuck with bed bug bites, crappy memories, and exorbitant charge to boot.

    I just filed a complaint with the BBB. Take my advice and DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

  72. Tracey says:

    Stayed last week at the Days Inn in Hampton, Va and was attacked by bed bugs. Saw 4 crawling on my sheets the 1st night and asked to move to another room. Went to 2nd room
    and thought I was safe but it was about 3 days before bites appeared on surface of skin. It was a horrible experience and management, Joyce, was not helpful. I filed report with health inspector. Don’t stAy here.

    Have there been any reports of bed bug infestation at the Embassy Suites in Richmond, Va or the Sleep Inn which is located on Parham Rd?

    Thanks for the work you do!

  73. Traci says:

    I stayed at the Red Roof Inn Columbus Convention Center (111 Nationwide Ave., Columbus Ohio) for 3 nights beginning June 11, 2010. I had no idea that the bed bug problem was getting so out of control, so when I found a couple small brown bugs (1 dead, 1 live) in my bed, it didn’t dawn on me that they were bed bugs.

    I am, however, bug-phobic, so had a minor panic attack and asked the front desk to please make sure to change the sheets. The next morning, there were a couple blood spots up near the head of the bed – 1 on the fitted sheet, 1 on the pillow. It wasn’t until the last morning, after I had showered and was getting ready to check out, that it dawned on me that they might be bed bugs. I pulled the sheet and mattress cover off and slid the mattress out from the wall a bit and found them – dozens of them!! I immediately told the manager, who comped 1 of my 3 days and said they would check it out immediately.

    I am now starting to see the bites appearing. I drove home, stopped and bought bug spray on my way. I unloaded my luggage and put all the clothes directly into the laundry (hot water), then sprayed inside and out of every piece of luggage that I had in the room – including my laptop case. Everything that I couldn’t wash I have sealed up in plastic zipper bags, and will leave them there for at least a week. I also showered again before I got into my bed last night.

    Have I done enough to prevent them from taking up residence in my house?

    Thanks,
    Traci

    I was recently at the Venetian in Las Vegas–fabulous hotel–and came home with red bites on lower part of my legs, particularly one ankle had a cluster of bites about size of silver dollar. The bites were very itchy, which i only noticed on my return trip home while in plane. The bites were unbearably itchy, which caused me to stratch of course. I contacted the hotel, and am awaiting a call from Risk Management.

    It never occurred to me that it could be bed bugs until I researched a little, and saw others’ pictures. Now I am trying to recall what items I had near the bed, etc. so that I hope I can make sure I brought none home. No signs yet, but I laid my clothes out on my bed daily. Bad. Most have been washed, but then there are shoes, bags, other items you don’t wash!!! Bites are now scabs and I guess will heal, but still don’t look too nice on my lower legs!!!!!!!

    I stayed here for a week back in March – have since discovered a bedbug infestation at my home back in the UK – obviously a lot of cost and disruption as a result.

    The Marriott is the only hotel that I have stayed in in the right timescales – my exterminator estimated about 6-8 weeks which tied in with my stay there.

    Unfortunately I do not react to bites, so only became aware when other members of my family were bitten. My colleague, who was staying in an adjacent room did complain about being bitten at the time – but was not sure what it was.

    I have contacted Marriott, who assured my that they have never had a problem – I would be interested to know if anyone else has…

    Dear Jim,

    I came across your website this evening. I returned yesterday from a week at a hotel in Orlando. We arrived on a Saturday and late on Sunday afternoon (3:00pm), I noticed a couple of bites on my arm. I was traveling with two friends and one friend (Anna) discovered one bite on her chest. My other friend (Katherine) had none. Anna and I spent several hours together away from Katherine at a theme park, which initially led us to believe that we got them somewhere in the park. Over the course of the next few days, we didn’t notice any new bites. I searched both beds and the dressers and found no evidence of bed bugs.

    The bites are similar in appearance to mosquito bites- round, red, with a red dot/scab in the middle. They are all isolated, not in groups, except for one on my arm, where there are 5-6 scabs in a row (this could be due to the fact that I was itching like crazy and infected it, because the scabs don’t actually look like bites). Upon arriving home, I brought my suitcase right to the basement and washed and dried all my clothes in hot water. I sprayed my suitcase down with alcohol and bleach. Does this sound like an incident of bed bugs? If so, when should I expect to see them in my home? Is there anything I can do now? Is it common for one person to get bitten, and not another, even though they’re in the same bed? Any information would be appreciated- I’ve very upset that I may have brought an infestation home with me!

    Thanks,
    Erin

    On May 1st thru May 8th. in rooms 167 and 110. My family paid for a week stay at this “Valuestay Inn and Suites” at 2001 N. Hudson, Pueblo, Co. 81001. Our 6 month old baby got tore up by bed bugs and when we peeled back the sheets and blankets to check the bed there were absolutely no signs so we thought it might be a rash but, as soon as we went to the office to pay for more days the clerk saw the bites and immediately went to our room to check for the culprits.

    She too, saw nothing when she peeled back the covers, but, when she removed the headboard from where it was bolted into the wall, behold, the place was infested. We should have gotten the hint when we saw all the mattresses sitting outside rooms, that there was some sort of problem. But, our ignorance, or actually, our attention to lifes problems stopped us from noticing all the signs .

    They did move us to another room , and we were happy for a few hours, but, when night fell, the cockroaches were outside the patio doors dying to get in . We immediately grabbed the babies and went to the front desk. They offered NO help what-so-ever and really acted non-chalant about everything. They had the nerve to argue with us, and make it seem as if it were our fault we had been attacked. At that point we were soo shooken up, we felt violated and dirty. It is now going on 3 weeks since we left, and the manager Perry, has yet to make good on his promise to refund the money we paid, he just keeps giving us excuses after excuses. BEWARE when staying at this hotel. it was a NIGTMARE!!!! And it doesn’t help that most the staff of clerks are related to Perry they are his daughters, or his rude and hateful wife. So they really stick together, and make it seem as if we were nuts for not liking the bed bugs. Yuck !!!

    Hallo,

    I wish you can help me out with your advice. I am going to visit San Francisco in August with friends and my friends have booked 3 rooms at Fitzgerald Hotel Union Square (address: 620 Post Street, Union Square, San Francisco (California), CA 94109). However the booking was not flexible and if we cancel it we have to pay the whole rate for four nights and 3 rooms.

    Somedays later, I found out that there have been many complaints in the past that the hotel has bed bugs. From that moment I dont know what to do, cause I am allergic to bites. Do you think there is something I can do? I was thinking that maybe there is some customer protection agency either to check if there are bed bugs at the hotel, or help me out how to cancell without paying the whole amount, since it is still quite early and the hotel can find other customers.
    Thanking you in advance.

  107. Carrie says:

    I stayed at the Great wolf lodge in the poconos in the middle of March this year. Since then my home is infested with bed bugs. I have called management and they swear they do not have a bed bug problem and were very rude. I told them I had seen numerous complaints online and all they could say was that I shouldn’t believe everything i read online.

    In addition to this, I explained how badly my daughter was bitten and when I brought her to the doctor because I did not know from what and he is the one who told me they looked like bed bug bites she replied no doctor could tell you exactly what bit her!!!!! However when you read online it shows and says exactly how they bite (they call it the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of the bed bite) usually in threes and in like a half circle!

    Awful experience with the management of Great wolf lodge in the Poconos, who want to take no responsibility and meanwhile I can barely sleep at night, even after getting new mattresses and an exterminator twice. I am disgusted!

  108. Jay says:

    Does the Beau Rivage Resort (Biloxi, Mississippi ) have bed bugs?

  109. Robbie says:

    I stayed at the Super 8 in LaPorte< IN-horrible infestation. I had to see the doctor twice and was given a shot and other medication. We were told by a motel employee that the manager had known about infestation for months and just recently started to spray. We were not informed of infestation when we checked in. The manager was helpful at first, but now refuses to reimburse me for any of the costs I have gotten because of this

    I am currently at the Value Place in Macon, Ga…. 4949 Harrison Rd – and I am having a heck of a time with something biting the hell out of me! The first night, I was fine. The 2nd night I woke up with patches of bites on my leg, my hands and my elbows. I contacted the front desk, and several members of the staff came up to investigate – they couldn’t find any signs, but sprayed the bed area with something ‘just in case.’
    That night I was fine – but again, the next night it happened again! Have there been any other reports on this property, and why does it seem to skip a night? Oddly enough, my travel partner’s bed seems to be fine! Help! Thank you!

    DO NOT stay at the COMFORT INN on East Cheyenne in Las Vegas. Also DO NOT stay at the RODEWAY INN at 200 Convention Center Drive in Las Vegas. Both are members of Choice Hotels International. I was bitten at both hotels and at the Rodeway, I was given two different rooms and both were infested with Bed Bugs. Did you know that when these bugs are small, they can penetrate the sheets. First you see them, then you don’t. That’s one way of knowing. If you are in the bed and feel something crawling and then throw the covers and sheets back quickly, you can see them going from the top of the sheet to the other side of the sheet where they can’t be seen. Smart bugs!

I’ve never had problems with bed bugs. Can you tell me if this hotel has had previous problems? I don’t have the money for a professional. What is the best way to attack this issue immediately? I’m thinking about covering my mattresses, and using DE all over the house. *sobs*..This is my worst nightmare.

  127. Jessica says:

    I have great news to share. After my suspected run in with bed bugs at the Christie Lodge in Avon, CO, I got a call from their management. While they never found any bed bugs, they took my claim very seriously and quarantined the room I stayed in immediately after my complaint.

    They are also having it professionally treated to ensure there are no future problems. Finally, they offered us 2 free nights to make up for my experience. They were very friendly and courteous. I am very satisfied with the way they handled this matter and would not hesitate to stay stay there again.

    Thanks for all of your hard work and for maintaining this site. It was a huge help for me.

  130. Jim says:

    Hi Vic,

    On April 2, 2010 Pantses from Canada left a review on tripadvisor titled ‘Twwo words – Bed Bugs’. They reported they love the resort and have stayed there three times, but this last stay and bed bugs was too much and doubt they would stay there again. Guess it was dirty and they were charged an extra nights stay!

    On Dec 23, 2009 Tracy101 mentioned that after day 2, large bites appeared and ended discovering they are bed bugs once home. Tracy101 stated that even with the bed bug bites and poor concierge desk, they would not hesitate to stay there again (I guess the grounds are fantastic and is family oriented).

    Also found on Aug 20, 2009 was a review titled ‘Nice property, with a bug problem, and shady charges’ – it wasn’t a bed bug problem, but rather an ant problem and a parking charge was added to the bill at the end (but removed once they complained (no car)).

    Christine on mytravelguide.com reported a good hotel for families but her daughter was attacked by bed bugs and ended up with 20 massive bites all over her body. They had a room in the Tapa Tower, which had an awesome view.

    From what I gathered from reading all these reviews, is that it’s a great place for the family, but make sure you know any and all fees, ask to check your room out first (clean bathrooms, good view, no sign of bed bugs, etc) and let them know that you have done your research, are aware of previous bed bugs complaints and want to make sure you get a room that is bug free. Perhaps talk to the manager and make sure you emphasize that you’ll be doing a review… The manager should know what the problem areas of the hotel are, were, etc.

    Good luck, and please write back and let us know how it worked out for you, will you?. We have been thinking of visiting Hawaii for awhile now and would love to find a place priced right, fun for the family and bed bug free.

    Jim

    Thanks Vic

    Hi Mark,

    I did some research on bed bugs at the Riviera hotel and casino at 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109-1931 and found a complaint by Postie307 that states he woke up with a rash, complained to the manager and it was suggested that perhaps it was the bed bug spray – that they have not had bed bugs problems, but spray anyway. This was on May 1, 2009 on Tripadvisor

    Also listed there was a complaint from Jan 4, 2009 titled Bed Bug Nightmare by jpe237 staying in room 1715 in the Monte Carlo tower. This person woke up with about 25 bites all over the body!

    On Dec 09, TravelPost.com has a complaint titled ‘Worst Hotel Ever” that says she felt like bed bugs bit her and the itching was horrible.

    HotelGuide.network has a couple of complaints as well.

    Do me a favor will you Mark? Post back your experience and let us know how it all turned out. Make sure you visit our bed bug checklist (see top of page menu bar) and make sure you don’t see signs. Also, if you do get bitten, please take some pictures and I’ll get them posted on the site!

    Good luck!

  133. Jim says:

    Hello Jessica,

    I probably spent more time on this than I should have, but I could not find one mention of bugs of any type, let alone bed bugs at the Christie Lodge, Avon, CO.

    That doesn’t mean that you were not bitten by a bed bug, just that no one has reported it; there is always a first time. What is important is how they treat you when you bring the bites to their attention – obviously, you were bitten and be it bed bugs, a spider or some other type of pest, they should take the complaint seriously and have the room checked out by a professional.

    How did they treat you? What did they offer you? A move to another room, refund, etc?

    Let us know!

    Hi. I stayed at Lure Lodge at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park in Jamestown, KY for a conference last week, March 30 – April 1. Woke up March 31 and found bed bugs in my bed.

    After letting management know, they came in and inspected the beds. Both box springs had bed bugs in them. They offered to pay for our room that night, but then would have to get our things laundered ourselves! Since our work paid for the room, we had them wash our clothes we slept in and our pillow cases (from home) as well as put our pillows in a dryer.

    They told us this was the first incident, yet they knew EXACTLY where to look in the box spring. My coworker was told by the manager that it wouldn’t do any good to tell people about this. They were moving the people from the rooms on either side of ours and under ours, but said they were going to be told there was plumbing problems!!!!

    We cannot say for sure if in fact they were moved. We were offered a free weekend (don’t think we’ll go back!) and they paid for two of our meals at the resort. We both took complete precautions upon returning home (emptying things in garage, bagging and washing immediately, etc.) and four days later my coworker found TWO in her bedroom…..needless to say she is at home waiting for an exterminator. Does the lodge have any legality for paying for treatments, furniture, etc.?

  137. Jessica says:

    bedbug bites on jessica I believe I was recently attacked by bed bugs at the Christie Lodge in Avon, CO. They claimed that they’ve never had a complaint before and that they searched my room after my complaint and found no evidence of bed bugs.

    It’s the only place I stayed recently and I am very certain that the marks on my body are bed bug bites.

    Can you please tell me if they have had complaints in the past?

    I have included four pictures that will give you an idea of what I am going through!

    Hello,

    We are planning on staying at the hilton hawaiian village at the beggining of june this year and was concerned about bed bugs, saw i review on tripadvisor and a few months back and one recently post on ta. Called the hotel a few times and was told that they did have bed bugs but can’t say if they are still a problem. I spoke to a supervisor today and he said that they dp\o have problems but none today (what does that mean) I was also told that probabablly any hotel i go to in honolulu will have bed bugs. SO why question is what do we do? not go,cancel the trip.

    Can you please look into this for me and advise!!!!!!! thanks so much in advance

    Hi,

    My mom and I have just returned from Vegas we stayed at the Plaza downtown on Freemont street in room 1546. We were there for a week and noticed nothing until we returned home and my mom was covered in bites I only had 15-20. We notified the Plaza management and they closed the room and said they were going to empty out the room. Could you please tell me if they had any other complaints?

    Thank you

    Bed Bug Bites from HotelI am a flight attendant who recently stayed at the Drury Suites in Padacah, Ky. When I got up for work last Friday, I was covered in bedbugs.

    I have over one hundred bites all over my body! I was in room 345. Please check to see if there are any other complaints.

    If you click on the pictures to the left, you’ll see an enlarged version showing bites from all parts of my body.

    Hello Jim
    We’re planning on bookijng a stay at the Towers on the Grove in Myrtle Beach. Do you have any knowledge of bugs at their facility?

    All I’ve been able to read in the reviews is that it is a great place without on negative comment.

    Look forward to hearing from you and thanks for all your work.

    Stayed at a LaQuinta Inn in Brunswick GA 10 days ago. 36 hours later I awoke with bites all over my feet, legs, thighs and under my bra strap. The next day more appeared on the backs of my legs, two on face and more on my hands.

    I am so afraid that I have brought them home. Steamed mattress, washed all clothing and called exterminator to spray the carpets, etc. When will I know if they have followed me home?

    The doctor put me on steroids and it has helped, but many of the large marks are still there although the itching has subsided. However, I have been having a crawling sensation on my face and scalp for the past week. Just hoping that it is all im my head from being weirded out about this whole experience.

    Picture of bedbug bites on Debbies handMy husband and myself just returned home from a two night stay at Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa in BC.

    After the first night I awoke in the morning with bites, not really knowing much about bed bugs. After the second night I awoke to many more bites. Some of my bites have given me a very bad allergic reaction others on less sensitive areas are just bites. I have contacted the hotel and they are investigating, waiting to hear from them.

    Have you heard or found any other info on this hotel?

    Hi Russ,

    I did some searching and did find one reference to bed bugs, but it was back on 10/01/06 – it appears that Best Western Walla Walla Suites Inn fixed the problem back then – good when you have only one complaint in 3 years (better when you have none : )

    Did you let them know you were bitten up and that they have issues? I am curious as to what they said.

    Sorry to hear you had problems – being fed on in the middle of the night is my worst fear!

  161. Jim says:

    Hi Barb,

    I don’t maintain a database of bed bug free hotels, but I can run a check on an individual hotel.

    What you should do is pick out the hotel you think best meets your needs, then let me know what the name of that hotel is and I’ll do research for reports of bed bugs.

    Have a great day!

    Would you tell me what you found out concerning bedbugs at Great Wolf Lodge in Poconos? Thanks.

    Result: I’m assuming it the Great Wold Lodge at 1 Great Wolf Drive Scotrun, PA 18355, correct?

    There was a report on Feb 17, 2010 from jjmccool who warns that he has stayed two times at the Great Wolf Lodge and management was unapologetic to his son’s numerous bed bug bites.

    On Nov 6th, BeentheredonethatNj reports bus and ants.

    These were from TripAdvisor and Yahoo Travel.

    Bed Bugs at hotel bite girlHi, my daughter has just returned from a short stay at the Hotel Pennsylvania New York. 401 7th Ave at 33rd St. New York City, NY 10001-2062 and has what appear to be bed bug bites to both shoulders — Click on the image to see an enlarged version of image.

    Hi Teresa,

    Thanks for the pictures. I found that on Jan 28, 2010, flyboi31 complained that he was bit up by bed bugs and that he had been warned about staying there.

    On Jan 8th, usblueflyer comments on bed bugs and recommends avoiding the place.

    Dec 18th yasminpessoa talks about bed bugs and lice!

    These were from tripadvisor.com, and from my experience researching bed bugs, when you find this many in just a few minutes, there is bound to be a ton more. I’d do more research, then contact the hotel and ask them for a refund at the least!

    Let us know what happens, will you?

    Thanks!

  166. Jennifer says:

    Some hotels get routinely checked by bed bug sniffing DOGS. Ask your hotels if they do this, and if they do, your chances of getting an infested room are lower because they are proactive about the potential problem and treating before someone complains about bites.

  167. Tracy says:

    We picked up bed bugs from a hotel and brought them home. My daughter had an allergic reaction. she had about 150 bites just on arms! other parts were bitten too but she had to be seen by docs and get prescriptions. Are there any lawyers that deal with bed bugs in Va? we have to exterminate the home and get rid of our beds and some furniture. this is very costly and the extermination is very extensive. I have gone crazy with this. any suggestions would help. Thanks!

    Best western conference center Baltimore MD has bed bugs. I’ve heard from other sites that the inner harbor has 2-3 hotels listed with them. Is there a clean hotel in Baltimore, MD near Johns Hopkins area? I know just because no one has reported it that they can be there. and I know they can be gotten rid of by hotel managers. but what can you do but ask? Thanks

I have read that the age of a hotel means nothing to a bed bug. Have you heard of any bed bug sightings there? Thank you for your research.

  171. Malcolm says:

    Hello all be aware of the Super 8 in Las Vegas, NV at 4250 Koval Lane. I stayed there 2 full weeks and had 2 cases of bites there. The first case was the first week i had been bitten on the legs and figured it might have been work related due to the nice warm weather that week and actually seeing insects out at our jobsite. Second case was when we were checking out of the hotel and noticed bites on my arms and eyelid, hadn’t worked the day before so it happened while i was sleeping. I called management but got voice mail, so for people going to Las Vegas, NV beware of bedbugs there at the Super 8. Oh yeah the room number was 1101 fyi

  172. Rosemary says:

    I so appreciate the time and effort you have put into helping people with this problem. I travel to Pittsburgh several times a year and have stayed at the Holiday Inn at Lytton Avenue, and at the Shadyside Suites.on Fifth Avenue. The suites are comfortable but musty and not particularly clean. Just wondering if you have any reports of bedbug problems at either one of those locations. thank you

    My name is Richard M and I am a victim of Bed Bug Bites from the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas Nevada. I stayed in room 3114 for the New Years from 12/30/09 to 1/2/10 and checked out 1/3/10. I did some research and also found other cases reported of Bed Bug Bites from Imperial Palace, and I have also included pictures of my Bed Bug Bites.

    This hotel should be held accountable for their failure to deal with the bug problem. There are reports going as far back as 2006! I was viciously attached by bed bugs at the Imperial Palace. I had over 50 bites per arm! Many bites on my back. I also had bites both in front and back of legs. I ended up at Kaiser Permanente Hospital on Jan 6 2010 in Urgent Care. I was prescribed Antibiotic and Anti Itching medicine as shown in photo. I also missed two days of work. Please let me know what you can do for me and If you have any other questions contact me via email. Thank You.

    Stayed in 2 hotels Crowne Plaza, Williamsburg, VA and VA Beach Reseort in Virginia Beach, VA a months ago and had preliminary “itching” for almost three months before a full breakout, and now have doctor diagnosed bedbites and had to have everything exterminated. Even though the exterminator said we caught them early, could it have come from either of those hotels as far back as mid-end of June?

    Thank you!

    Hi. were there any bedbug complaiints in 2009 for the Great Wolf Lodge. I came up with only 2008

  181. Blanche says:

    Not about bedbugs, but just as ANNOYING…My 13 year old, home educated, son, ( I say this because I know EXACTLY where the head lice came from), has had head lice since we stayed at a Marriott Hotel in Savannah, GA. Hotels need to STOP putting decorative pillows on beds, START washing the bedspreads after every change of use, vacuuming the cloth couches and chairs, (or wiping down the ones that aren’t), after EVERY change of use, and they should also spray down the entire room with LYSOL after every change of use. Hotels make a lot of money.

    It is high time they start using some of it to protect it’s patrons from bed bugs, head lice, etc. That hotel was sort of seedy for a vacation hot spot near the water and it did not come cheap, but it was inexpensive compared to what I have had to spend trying to get rid of the head lice. It has cost me a small fortune in shampoos, doctor visits, water, detergent, hot water for washing, carpet cleaning and the electricity cost to do all of that, not to mention the time and energy it takes to get rid of the pests.

    ALSO, it has been very embarrassing to have to explain to family members WHY you can’t come to visit or to have to tell anyone that you DID visit without the knowledge of contamination that they too may have head lice infestation in their house. ONE NIGHT in a hotel room has cost me plenty and it was not even worth it, believe me.

  182. Jim says:

    Update:

    I do this research on my spare time at my own cost – Until Feb 2010, I will be unable to process any requests.

What actions can i take against the motel ? Thank you

  192. Jim says:

    Hi Becky,

    That looks awful and the fact that you have documentation and confirmed bed bugs problems in the past, I’m most confident you’ll get your $1,000 and more if you hire an attorney.

    The attorney will simply add their fee to what you want and sue for the entire amount.

    If you want an aggressive attorney, talk with Renee at lawref@lawrefs.com

    Good luck and please, let us know how everything turns out!

    On 11/1/09 I was bitten by bed bugs dozens of times at the Super 8 – Bonner Springs, Kansas, owned by Hinz Hotels LLC. When I reported the incident to the manager and gave him a live bug in a plastic cup, he filled out a report, but did not apologize. I’ve included pictures of the bed bug bites below.

    Hotel bedbug bites on becky's arm

    I was given no information about how to avoid infesting my home or other hotel rooms. I contacted the state inspector and he confirmed bedbugs in room 406 and 404. He said that he cited the hotel for not reporting the infestation. I waited to hear from the owner and finally emailed them.

    I received a call and an apology 18 days after I checked out. I was offered $350 in compensation and I told them I thought $1000 was more realistic compensation for my week of misery. I was told they’d check with their insurance company and call me back. That was over two weeks ago.

    My husband woke up with bed bug bites after staying at the Sahara in Las Vegas.

I am worried we brought them home. I have not seen any signs of them yet. How long does it usually take to know if you brought them home with you.

    Bedbug bites on Bell after staying at hotel

    I stayed in red roof inn in Saugus Massachusetts. I woke up and found a dab of blood and thought it was from Halloween makeup.

    When I got home I started itching and had red bumps. Then the next day I was full blown huge welt like dots in threes all over my arms and legs and itched like crazy.

    Went to doctor and called hotel. Manager said he would refund me one night but so far didn’t get it! Also, he checked the bed but I bet not the seams! They had a problem once before that I found out about too. Uck!

  202. Katie says:

    I have a question, my daughter and I are staying at a Hotel right now. We have been itching based on some bites that I assumed were mosquitos. Last night, however, I saw some very small bugs crawling in an arm chair, so i began investigating. I found more very small bugs crawling on a night table. I killed several and kept them as samples, but I cant really tell if they look like the comparison bugs in your photos (because they are so small) If they are NOT bed bugs, what else could they be?

    i stayed @ the super 8 motel on newbern ave in raleigh n.c. and was nearly eaten alive i recorded the security guy saying he saw the bugs i also recorded the clerk denying me a refund long story short i had to go to the er and be treated what can i do?

    Dear Jim,

    I certainly appreciate your kindness and helping me find more information about Bedbugs at Easyhotel Paddington London. I hope my trip on this December 2009 won’t be an disappointed one! I will be very careful and aware with all of the updated information on this hotel.

    Thank you again for your help :)

  210. Jim says:

    Hello Tchakka,

    Send the pictures to me at badbedbugs@gmail.com and I’ll post them on the site. I’ll also include information on an excellent free legal resource that can arm you with the right tools :)

    Best regards,

    Jim

    Bedbug Update: I’ve uploaded your picture, thank you, and as for the legal resource, I would visit lawrefs.com and ask for help there. It’s a free resource and an excellent place to start. By the way, what is the address of this hotel you were bitten at? I offer a free service where I’ll do a quick custom search looking for previous cases of bedbug complaints at that hotel and report my findings on line. It gives you something to refer to when dealing with management and it enlightens the hotel as to other complaints out there; it’s difficult for the hotel to claim they never had a problem before when they see that :)

    Best regards,

    Jim

    Bedbug bites on ear after staying at hotel
    While staying at the Springhill Suites Marriot this weekend. I had the luxury of waking up with open bug bites on my ears (ouch), see picture below.

    Immediately I made my way to a General Manager with ears as red as Tomatoes and swollen and also leaking.Mr. James Kinane, Cha was very non sympathetic saying that he has never had this type of complaint in 20yrs. I have pictures, What can I do?

    Hi,

    I am staying at a very high class hotel for 2 months on business(6 weeks left). This week I woke up with several bumps, but thought it was nothing to worry about. The next day I woke up to an incredible itch and found over 100 bites on me.

    At first, the hotel insisted they do not have bed bugs, and searched the room and couldn’t find any. I wouldn’t accept that, so I looked a little more and found MANY bed bugs between the box springs and living underneath the box springs. SO even though I told the hotel, and they looked, it would have passed their search. Anyway, I have been moved to another room, but I have had a hyper-allergic reaction to the bites and they have swelled up a lot.

    I don’t know how I am gonna stay here for another 6 weeks and I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I am living in hell! Can anyone give me advice? I took pictures and documented the bites.

  214. winnie t. says:

    Hi Winnie,

    You are referring to the following, right?
    easyHotel London Paddington
    10 Norfolk Pl, London, W2 1QL, United Kingdom
    020 7706 9911

    A quick review found the following from Tripadvisor:
    On Aug 24, 2009, cmellersh was on a business trip and spent one night there by in room 110 and claims to have left with more than 100 bed bug bites! He says that management was informed and never followed up.

    On Jun 6, 2009 just_there report spotting bed bugs, reported it to staff and was left with the feeling that they just didn’t care. To make matters worse, just_there had to insist on another room, it was not offered freely.

    That was an extremely quick search and it turned up two complaints about bed bugs from easyHotel London Paddington.

    Hope that helps :)

    I woke up and had an itch on my leg- I showered and was itching everywhere-
    I looked in the mirror and my left leg and right arm and right back of my shoulder was attacked by bed bugs- I had a total of 68 bites-
    They itch so bad I am in fear of any hotel rooms and I have to travel for my job- I don’t know what to do-

    Just experienced bed bugs at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago O’Hare Airport-Rosemont for the first time in my life. There were empty adults and babies all over the bed next to mine. There were fecal spots on the bed skirt near the headboard. They were crawling on the wall. They were everywhere and every size … except for full. (I did some research as soon as I got into my new room.)

    I’m so glad that I did not go to bed early and that was up to see them come out. I’m sure they would have made it over to my bed to feast. I switched rooms and the hotel offered to reduce my rate from $189 to $119. They ended up reducing it to $99 (for now.) They did call housekeeping and maintenance to come up to the infested room. Let’s hope they are thorough in their extermination of these little blood suckers!

    Update: Sept 25

    Hotel management called the next morning. They apologized for my experience and they were very sympathetic with what I must have gone through trying to sleep that night. The hotel ended up waving my room and internet fee for my stay. The gave me a voucher for free breakfast. And, they gave me a gift certificate good for one night’s stay and breakfast. Given the situation, I feel better about how they handled me as a customer, but the experience still creeps me out. They assured me that they cleared the room (mattress) and all and that they would fully exterminate the room.

    Hi Mike,

    I researched all your hotels for complaints of bed bugs and could not find one about bugs of any type with any of the hotels you mentioned.

    Howard Johnson Express – Rocky Hill/Glastonbury

    In the future, I’ll do only two hotels as this took a bit too much of my time and I’m doing this for free.

    I don’t think you’ll have a problem with any of the hotels.

    Hello SM,

    Sounds like a nightmare rather than a storybook vacation!

    A quick (I’m rushed today) review of bed bugs at the Swan Resort shows a complaint about bugs on Tripadvisor: see the complaint from ccfamily about bugs under their bed and another by princessjsoiebird who’s daughter was bitten up by bed bugs. and goes on to say “The staff treated my husband and I like we were doing something wrong when we needed a new room key.”

    DISboards has a complaint about staying at Disney Swan Resort and the family being bitten up by bed bugs, see:
    disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2280235

    WFTV has a video about Disney paying a family to not talk about their ordeal with bed bugs, which can be found here:
    wftv.com/news/15032105/detail.html

    Like I said, this was a very quick review and based upon my experience, that is usually an indication there is a lot more documented complaints out there!

    Let us know what happens here. By the way, did you get the name of the manager you were dealing with?

  225. SM Shock says:

    Hello,

    I recently encountered bedbugs during a 1 night stay at the Disney Swan in Orlando Florida. I’ve included a photo below.

    Bedbugs at Disney Swan Resort

    I even trapped one under a glass on the bed. The hotel staff did everything wrong, from accusing me of bringing them in to leaving us in the room and only removing the linens. Clearly they were attempting to cover it up. We even caught a security guard outside our door listening to our conversations instead of addressing the problem.

    The manager on duty would not discuss and kept forwarding our calls to security at the hotel. Finally after we left, we were just about to pull into the driveway, we had a call from the hotel security…… indeed their pest control confirmed bedbugs. Which wasn’t difficult, since I had photos and left a trapped bug on the bed.

  226. Cathy Bartley says:

    Have there been any problems at the Romeoville Illinois Best Western, on Normantown Rd.We stayed there for the weekend and we had two rooms. All three of us have bites on our legs, arms and chest.They look like the pictures on the website. My mother in law saw a Dr. and he said that’s what they looked like. Is there a good way to tell if any came with us?

  227. Donna says:

    What a wonderul way to help others in the pursuit of bug and critter incident reports!

    Would you be so kind as to say, whether there have been any reported incidents of bed bugs at Thistle Kensington Gardens, 104 Bayswater Road, London W2 3HL.

    I just found your site today, but am leaving for London in ten days. Needless to say, I would not be thrilled with this vacation if I were to be bitten by bugs, or if I were to bring back any creepy hitchers? Thanks so much for your time and effort.

    Hi Jim,

    Is there any reported bed bug problem at Hampden House? The full address is Flat 9 Hampden House, 2 Weymouth Street, London. This is not a hotel but a 3-bedroom apartment for short term stay.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Went to Nashville for a CPC test and stayed in Antioch, Tn. at Country Inn & Suites, 1001 Bell Road 37013. My friends and I had adjoining room and at about 2:oo a.m. they woke me up saying I have bugs in my bed. They were big ones and small ones. There wasn’t any in my room, the manager did make restitution for the two rooms. Though it didn’t make up for just getting an hour and a half sleep and the have to take a 5 1/2 hr. test. Hope I never have to go through that again. Please check for reports on this address.

  230. Jim says:

    Hi Lisa,

    All the research I have done not only indicated the hotel was bug free, but just about all the reviews that I came across were very positive.

    I think you’ll have a good night without a single bed bug bite :)

    Hello Janice,

    If you are asking about bed bugs at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare at 9300 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Rosemont, IL 60018, then you should be all set from what I can tell.

    Hello Frederic,

    I did a very quick check on complaints about the easyHotel for previous issues with bed bugs and found that on June 6th, just_here from Munich, Germany stated on TripAdvisor, that he can not recommend this place. In his complaint, he mentioned that he found bed bugs on his first night and when he complained to management, they were unresponsive and that he had to insist upon a new room.

    Please let us know what happens here! Bed bugs don’t mean the hotel is bad, but failure to act upon a bedbug complaint and compensate the visitor for their troubles does. I’ll send you some contact information for the person who made the previous complaint and perhaps you can compare notes…

    From the pictures, it looks like the bed bugs had a full meal of you! They look painful and I hope they heal soon!

    Best regards,

    Jim

    Hello,

    About 80 bed bug bites on my hands and arm that are getting worse day by day.

    I’m asking for refunding of the nights, the doctor and chemistry fees at the very least!

    Subject: Prosecuting EasyHotel for Insanitary

    Mr Manager,

    I stayed 4 nights at your Hotel in paddington and I went through a very bad experience of your Hotel and our room (N205).

    I have been bitten by several insects (flea, ticks) during the two first night, and asked to the desk to change room for our last night (room N207).

    I got more than 80 bites on my arms, neck, and some over my face, which are getting worse day after day.

    I’m going to the doctor tomorrow in order to identify the exact nature of my sickness, and can’t go to work no more because of the itch, and as the result of the lack of hygiene from your hotel.

    I inform you that I’m going to complain officially by a lawyer in order to prosecute EasyHotel.

    The cheap offer means really unhealthy, insalubrious, insanitary, unhygienic place to stay in London. It’s a shame and I am really shocked about this.

    For further information, here are some photographs taken inside your Hotel (see photo above) :

    I stayed at the Candlewood Suites in Fitchburg/Madison WI! I was attacked and devoured by a bed bug infestation. It is the most excrutiating itching and at times painful experience. I have so many bites my hands are swollen. I hadn’t heard of a problem there before. Is there any info out there on them? I’d like to notify people about it!

    Hi Jim,

    Can you check on Waikiki Resort on Oahu, Hi? I think they might have bed bugs but I heard they have remodeled the hotel and that is why I had purchased the ticket as I would assume they might not carry those bugs anymore. Please help.

    Hi Vickie,

    Do you have an address, I found a number of hotels with that name.

    Hello OJ,

    Looking at Clarion Inn & Suites on 2227 Old Fort Parkway Murfreesboro, TN 37129
    (615) 896-2420 I did find reference on trip advisor to bugs.

    On Mar 20, 07, Sahga claims son saw a bug crawling across the bed. No mention if it was a bed bug, but they did complain to management and management was happy to work with them without problems.

    Consider the review is two years old and management was understanding. It was the only complaint I could find.

    I spent 10 days at Marydale Retreat Center in Erlanger, KY. I got three bites in a row, just under my bra line that itched like crazy for days and didn’t heal for weeks.

    I’ve been home about a month, and though I washed all my clothes and dried on hot and didn’t put suitcases on the bed, etc., I woke up this morning with two bites on my leg.

    I was just wondering if you’ve gotten any reports about Marydale.

    Hi, Jim. I am considering taking my family to Great Wolf Lodge in VA but I did read some reviews regarding bed bugs. The reviews that I found were dated back in 2007. Is it possible for you to do a search to see if there have been any recent complaints of this nature. Thanks much.

  252. Jim says:

    Hello Lorraine,

    You can search google, yahoo and msn for any references of bed bugs related to the hotel. When I did my check, I couldn’t find any reference to bed bugs at the Gibson Inn in Apalachicola, FL.

    That does not mean they have a clean bill of health or that some visitor didn’t infect that room, just that I couldn’t find any reference to bugs.

    Hope that helps and sorry to hear about the bites!

    hello!

    What should be the time of my life has now became a nightmare,,, i seen the news to night and wow! bed bugs made the 6 o’clock news, my daughter myself and my mother have a wonderful trip to HAWAII in may and now I’m worried on the possibility of bed bugs,

    We are due to stay at the ASTON WAIKIKI BEACH HOTEL{ FORMALLY THE RESORT QUEST} 2570 kalakaue ave. honolulu hi. 96815
    (808) 923-3656

    Can you please look in to this if u have a chance, i called and they said they don’t have any and never have, but who knows,

    This is very important my mom just had lung cancer (which is in remission) however do to her chemo treatments her white cells will take some time to build back up and we don’t want any thing to make her sick!

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Misty,

    I went back a year and could not find any reports of bed bugs and in that area, bedbugs are a huge problem from what I hear. In doing the research, I did find that a lot of people complaining about the small rooms and a nightmare a breakfast and that you need to get there early or it’s gone. True or not, it’s something to keep in mind and ask about before your stay!

    Let us know how it turned out, will you?

  266. Joe says:

    Jim:

    great website. How about the Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos. I’ve heard they had a problem, but I also heard they have resolved it? What do I do?

    Hi Joe,

    See the comment below for the recent bed bug infestations. What can you do if you are going anyway? Document and talk to management ahead of time, someone in a management position and get them to confirm that they are clean and some type of garantee and contact should you find bed bugs.

    Chances are, they will MAKE SURE to stick you in a room they feel comfortable with. If you do find them, you have documentation (take pictures) and go from there.

    Good luck!

    I am running a trip to Great Wolf PA this May 2009 – I have 30 rooms reserved – I heard about the possibility of them having bedbugs – I called the person I booked with and explained my concerns – she had a supervisor call me back and assure me there are not bed bugs – I have found a blog on-line of a complaint of bed bugs in November, 2008 – how can I find out if they are still having this problem – would it be wise for us all to back out?
    Please comment as soon as you can – the date is drawing near.
    Thanks.
