Haven't you learned anything from Mitt and his tax forms?
 

But now you've got the rest of us curious as to what posts you may be afraid for him to see! :eek: :D

Ha, nothing specific. He just thinks forums in general are stupid. :rolleyes:

Are the adjacent rooms treated?

Well, there was no care tag - that probably didn't help.

Anyway, just shot them an email praising the staff's response - and added a "hey just so you know, I don't want compensation, but here's what happened, so it doesn't happen to anyone else" bit. We'll see what they say, if anything.

Just another opinion, I would have taken the depreciated value of the clothes and asked for a credit for that amount of money towards a future Mariott stay.
That takes care of you while preventing them from having to do a dollar reimbursement, and it's less of a loss financially to the property.

I can honestly say I've never personally seen one (yes that is correct....I've never seen one)...but that doesn't mean they aren't an issue everywhere these days in this country

bedbugs like fabric...they do not like case goods

yes...they create a 'block' - take those rooms out of service and treat them too...those rooms too are monitored to be sure there isn't an issue

Or so protocol says, doesn't mean that's how it plays out.

Recently exchanged a car with Avis due to air in the fuel line (can cause stalling and was a simple fix only necessitating bleeding of the fuel line). Hopefully SOP with regard to a maintenance exchange would require the car to be pulled from service and checked out before renting again, but upon realizing I'd left things in the old car about 45 minutes later, learned that the car had already been rented back out (yes, I realize this is a hotel forum, not car rental, but proof what a company is supposed to do and actually does is two totally different things).

I wouldn't mind see a sticky here where people can list hotel and rooms where they have seen them.

12 years traveling and haven't had an issue yet, but I'd like to know if I'm going to a hotel where they have had an issue before so I know to look out.

EVERY SINGLE HOTEL would be on that list eventually. Every single one. If you don't believe it you are dreaming! True.

Well, there is a bedbug registry (google it). But unless the report is from a few days before your stay, it won't really matter. If bedbugs (in any hotel, chain or otherwise) were reported & then the room cleaned according to get-rid-of-bedbug-protocol, the prior report of bedbugs in the room wouldn't be valid for your stay as they'd be gone.

Cheers.

So is this property not being mentioned then?

It was the Fairfield Inn & Suites Bremerton.

I just got an email from the manager apologizing. I have to say, I do wish Marriott would answer themselves sometimes instead of foisting off emails on hotel management.

FF. OK. That's on par with motel 6 or red roof inn, IMHO, and I would expect bedbugs from time to time, if for no other reason than the clientele that would frequent this level of property and moving between similar one and two star motels.

Yes yes, I know. There have been reports of issues at five star properties as well but probably not nearly to the extent. As I say I have not run into any bedbugs in 2000 nights.

(let the flames begin).
