Marriott HQ contacted me, said bed bugs are every where, but they'd like to offer compensation. They asked me what I'd like for compensation. I searched this Marriott forum and found others in similar situation got 90k. So I called and told them 90k, and won't write about this experience in public forums until I hear from them. They thought about it and came back to offer 45k. I told them that's too low, but I'll take 75k. They thought about it and said 45k is their offer, no more. Another person (here in Marriott forum) also commented 45k is too low, for my bed bug situation.

You didn't get bed bug bites all over your arm and shoulder, and neck, and face, and had to use cream for many days (because it hurts and it's itchy). You didn't wait for Marriott front desk to get someone confirm bed bugs, and filled out forms. You didn't have to pack and move to a smaller room. You didn't have to wash all your clothes, and clean your car, to ensure no more bed bugs followed, etc. You didn't search in Marriott forum on what others got as fair compensation. You are entitled to your opinion of what kidnapping is, or what extortion is vs what others considered fair compensation.
