I stayed at this hotel on the night of 1/25/12 on the second floor. After tossing around unable to sleep for awhile, I begin to itch a little. The intensity of the itches increased to the point I could no longer ignore them, so I turned on the bed side lamp. On my arm I found three welts, and on my chest I found one large welt. I then lifted up my pillow to find a live bed bug running across my sheets.
I killed the bed bug, and took a picture of it which is displayed as my profile picture. I called the front desk to tell them that I was just eaten up and found a bed bug in my room. The woman told me that she could transfer me to another room. I told her that at that point, there was no way I would be able to fall back to sleep. I then went down to the front desk and talked to the same woman and showed her the evidence of my welts and the picture of the bed bug. Her response was, "strange, we usually only get bed bugs on the 1st floor." I was shocked at that reply.
Per bed bug infestation recommendations, I left all my belongings behind, along with my contact information for the hotel manager. Not once did I receive an apology from him/her for the experience I had at their hotel. I received one e-mail saying they had laundered my items, and that I could pick them up. Living in Minnesota, this was not feasible, so they shipped my items to me later.
