My husband and I decided to stay here because it was one of the hotels in the Roomsaver Guide for the Northeast thinking it would be a decent place to stay if it was in this coupon book. From the outside the place looked fairly neat and clean. When we got inside it was not well lit. We were on our way to dinner so we just dropped our stuff off and left. When we got back, I started noticing that things were not so clean. There was hair and gunk in the kitchen sink drain, the mop boards in the bathroom were filthy with hair, dirt, and lint that looked as though it hadn't had a proper cleaning in a long time and the toilet looked like it could use a good bleaching also. Before I got in bed to watch TV, I turned on the heater because it was damp and cool. The smell coming from it was like burning dust and ashtray. It was so bad that I had to turn it off after a minute. Now for the fun part! I fell asleep for a couple of hours, got up to use the bathroom and as I was coming out, I noticed something on a pillow. At first glance I thought it was a red piece of lint until I went to grab it and it started running across the pillow. I screamed and my husband came over and grabbed the bug and flushed it down the drain. I had never seen a bedbug before but I just thought this had to be one. We tore the bed apart and my husband found another one and disposed of it. I kept looking through everything
including under the mattress but found nothing else. My husband just figured they were some bug from outside and after about an hour or so went to sleep. The next morning, I got out of the shower and came out to see another bug crawling up the middle of the bed! I told my husband to grab it so we could put it in a plastic bag and bring it to the front desk. He grabbed it but it exploded into a little pool of blood on the sheet!! That was it! I tore the other bed apart and found another bug.This one was almost see thru but we got in the bag and I stomped down to the front desk and asked the guy if he knew what this was and he just shook his head. I told him of our experience with all these bugs and that I believed they were bedbugs. He then offered me a 15% discount! I said if "I am NOT happy and if find one more bug I will be expecting a full refund". He then said it had been at least 5 or 6 years since we've had these! I ended up with only a 20% discount off our room and was unable to find more bugs but I really didn't want to stick around any longer either. I got home and looked up bedbugs on the net and that is exactly what we had in our room. I can't believe that I left there still paying $88 and change after his big discount! What a joke!. I will be writing a complaint and looking for a full refund.
