Woke up at 1:30 AM feeling like something was in bed with me. Turned on light and found the bed was full of bedbugs. Gathered my things and spent the rest of the night in the car. The office was closed between midnight and 6:00 AM and nobody answered the after hours phone. At 6:00 AM I went to the office with my concern and was told I needed to wait til 9:00 when the manager came in. At 8:00 AM I called the Scott County Health Dept. and an inspector came out right away. She inspected the room I was in and the rooms adjacent to mine and ultimately closed all 4 rooms for bedbug infestation and ordered them cleaned up. She also told me she has been to this property previously for the same reason just 2 weeks prior. After all this the manager refused my request for a refund and even had the gall to sugest I may have been the one to bring the bedbugs in. I have a copy of the Health Dept's report and will be contacting the EconoLodge corporate office with my complaint. I encountered considerable loss of time and the expense of cleaning everything that was possibly contaminated.
