Twitter, they'll answer with bad publicity
I talked to a buddy that works in hospitality about this. He said hotels are really scared to acknowledge bedbugs because it launches a whole big thing. Also, apparently people try to commit fraud all the time to claim bedbugs (or whatever) because they know it’s such a big deal.
That sucks though. Good luck
To prevent infesting your own home, you really have two options. Burn all the clothes exposed to that room as they can harbor eggs which last through washing machine. The other option is to bring it to a dry cleaner and tell them to use the highest possible heat to remove bedbugs from your clothes.
Post the link and we can share
You are more than nice and have been very forgiving but right now they are preying on your civility....
Go to Twitter out and blew it up but maybe consider not using your personal Twitter account. There’s also something called a bedbug Registry I believe...
Why have you not moved to another hotel yet
I found a bed bug at a Westin in Pittsburgh. Talked to the manager and got all my clothes dry cleaned, suitcase cleaned, and 50K points.
Good job, BCG2!
@McK1, I’m trying to be more aggressive! Like I said before, that’s a bit foreign to me, but I also don’t appreciate being brushed away because I’m not causing enough of a stink.
Ask your doc for prognosis of Luke's disease. It's awful. I 've been through hell and back(though not limes). God bless you with patience and calmness.
@D2, from what I understand, the amount of heat necessary to sanitize your boots, would destroy the leather. So we may as well just throw them out and replace them, than take a risk.
Quick fix... LeMeridien in Dunwoody is very decent and no nasty critters so far
@A1, man I wish this was a hoax. I’ve been camping, I live in Texas, I’ve been bit by mosquitos, fleas, ants, and this is so much worse. Whatever these bugs bite you with, itches like I can’t even describe. I’m almost on Day 5, and I am still struggling with how bad it itches!
Good luck...
Make sure you get pictures of the bugs showing it’s in the room or video
Side note about Bed Bugs: Different people react differently to bed bugs; some people can be allergic (to varying degrees)
Also, if possible, get them checked out by a medical professional if they are still bothering you
Law suit
Update, fam!:
As you all likely predicted, the insurance guy is a weasel. In his initial request, he asked for screenshots of the value of my items, to calculate the amount required to replace them.
So I did that. I took pictures of every item, with respective pictures of the items’ cost to replace, I even created a spreadsheet for him (because of course I did 🙄).
Well NOW he is completely changing his story, threw out some random, arbitrary number, and said that “without receipts, we would have to apply some sort of depreciation.”
What??
A. Send me screenshots of the value of the items, to calculate the amount required to replace them.
B. Send me receipts of the items, to calculate their depreciated value over time.
Those are two completely different requests, with two completely different intentions.
I’m totally fine with providing receipts. I’m also understanding of depreciated value. What I don’t appreciate, is the misdirection.
Super odd update - the bites on my hand are making a comeback. The itchiness was so strong last night, that it woke me up from a dead sleep. What. The. Hell.
In these situations, I would gather as much evidence as possible. So PSA for future bed bug infestated travellers - in addition to pictures, I would take a video of the bug, the room, the room number and the hotel. That way they can no way say it was fake. And share the crap out of the video if they don't respond. I have done the video route before and received 50,000 SPG points and one night refunded (in points).
Uhhhh what the heck
