This stay was the absolute worst I have ever experienced in my entire life. First, the television did not work, they admitted to having some conflict with their television provider. Next, the internet didn't work; another excuse.. There were beer bottle caps left in the room by some other attendants. Lastly, the worst part of the stay, BED BUGS!
I have never seen or experienced bed bugs before until now. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed a bug crawling on the side of the bed. I took a piece of plastic wrapper, and smashed it. To my amazement, the bug was FILLED with blood; from my body unfortunately. After alerting my friend, he noticed some bugs crawling behind his head board. These were also filled with blood. Additionally, the sheets we had used had spots of our own blood all over them.
We quickly alerted the minimal staff at the hotel. The cleaning guy (who barely spoke English by the way) followed us back to our room. He knew exactly where to look. He moved back the headboard, and there were 3 bed bugs crawling around. He smashed one with his bare finger, and said, "Yes, bed bug". Then continued to mumble in broken English about Terminex.
The manager was not there, an we were told he wouldn't arrive for a few more hours. We left our information with the front desk and we were assured someone would call. Someone did eventually call. A very rude manager. I can't remember his name unfortunately.. I simply asked for a refund, and that is all. He said no. I couldn't believe it! He tried to blame the bed bugs on my friend and I.. After I argued with this jerk, he offered me a 10% discount. Jeeze, thanks for the $10 - I feel much better now after being a buffet for the bed bugs!
I called the health department and they said they would send an inspector.. I also filed a claim with the better business bureau; and I wasn't the only one. here are a ton of reports of the bed bugs at this hotel. The worst. I would have rather slept under a bridge. I have never been so disgusted in my entire life.. If you have had a similar experience at this crap hole, please call the health department in Shelby TN. And by all means, avoid this place if you value your blood..
