Last night for the first time, there were bed bugs in my room. The staff was well trained in what to do, but this still is so annoying as it shouldn’t happen. I lost a night’s sleep, my skin is very itchy and I’ll throw away my suitcase and backpack just in case since I don’t want to bring them home. I need to focus on work, but this is so frustrating and painful.
Question for the lurkers and other long time members: has this ever happened to you and what recourse can Marriott offer to make up for this terrible situation??
It happened to me at a Novotel in France in 2015. The little bass-turds came home with me. I needed to hire an exterminator who heated my bedroom to 55 C for four days.
It got rid of the little monsters, but I had to get a new bed and mattress.
Swiss insurance covered the costs for the exterminator.
