My boyfriend and I stayed in the Club Quarters on Chestnut St., in Philadelphia, for 2 nights this winter. He found three bites on himself (in the "breakfast, lunch, & dinner" literal lineup that bed bugs are known for) the day after our first night there. We were concerned, but had no thoughts of how it was possible to bring them home with us. Unknowingly, we did just that. Probably in our luggage. Once spring came, they came out of hibernation and began to bite us at home, each in our own
beds. Having never experienced bed bugs at home before & having stayed nowhere new since this visit to Club Quarters, we are convinced that the bed bugs came home with us from there. Since then, I have emptied my bag out thoroughly and discovered little droppings (smaller than a poppy seed, as described on many websites related to this subject.) They are likely to have been nesting in my bag alongside my bed. We've been taking many steps to rid ourselves of these pests, such as: using diatomaceous earth, vaccuming, mattress encasements, & a slew of other actions. I am very distressed and wishing that I knew that this location was not to be trusted for this reason. We were naive to assume that the management would keep up with inspections of this kind.

Guest feedback is important to us and we take all comments regarding bed bugs very seriously. Club Quarters has a proactive pest elimination policy that includes regularly scheduled inspections by a professional pest control company that uses trained bed bug detecting dogs. Additionally we have thoroughly trained all of our housekeeping associates to inspect our guest rooms for any signs of pest activity. When necessary our pest control company conducts bed bug elimination procedures using t
he latest in heat and/or steam technology.
I encourage anyone with questions or comments regarding our pest control policy to contact me directly zcohen@clubquarters.com or 212-282-5002.

Day after I came home, itchy red welts appeared all over my body. I have never encountered this before but inspection and comparison to other's indicated that these are bedbug bites. September 7-8 2011. I have stayed here before but will not again. Horrible.

April 26th and 27th. I came back to my room on the second day and was locked out. It turns out that they had found bedbugs in my room. They moved me, and said they had all of my clothes and bags checked. Several days later I broke out in welts, presumably from the bites received several days previously.
