I arrived a little before midnight on Friday, 23 March 2012 and went to bed. At 3:30 am I got up to go to the bathroom, turned on the lights, and saw many happy, well fed bed bugs on the bed! I killed and took two for specimens, took photos of the bugs and blood spots on the pillows and sheets, packed up and searched as best I could for stowaways, and checked out of the hotel so as to have documentation of the stay. The night clerk was very kind and understanding, but said there was nothing he could do.
I subsequently got positive ID of the bed bugs from a county extension service. I later did some Internet research and found not one, but two other reports of bed bugs at this place.
I will never stay somewhere without checking the internet first, believe me!
