Was staying in Room 1958 for a conference July 13th-16, 2011. Woke up with bugs crawling up my leg. Immediately jumped out of bed and smashed the bugs. They exploded, blood from these bugs went everywhere. Called the front desk (which to FOREVER) to answer. They sent security to my room. Kicked me out of my room, changed codes to the door. I had no access to any of my personal belongings all day. That evening was moved to another room. Dealt with 2 different managers, neither of which w
ere helpful. Kept telling me that they'd call (even said they did call me on a few occassions - but NEVER actually called). Keep telling me that were going to call EcoLab to "investigate" and they'd get back to me. It's been two weeks, and I STILL haven't heard anything from them. They were NOT accomodating, and quite frankly were very rude about the whole matter.... stated at one point that they were upset with me because now there was blood on their mattress (although they had nothing to say about the fact that there was no mattress pad on this bed!)

My daughter was on her 8th grade East Coast tour and stayed here in March, 2008. I had to escort another child to this trip, so caught up to the tour here. My daughter had about 6-8 bites on her leg. We reported it afterward. The hotel made a minimal response. We never heard the resolution of their investigation, if they did one.

July 14-23, 2010 - Stayed in room 2280 for 10 days, 9 nights for a convention. Didn't notice any bugs while I was there, however on the morning of July 23rd, I found a few bites on my legs. While I was driving home to Baltimore, I started noticing more and more bites. By the end of Friday night, my arms were covered and I noticed several on my legs and face and they were itching horribly. I've counted approximately 158 bites.
I've read that once you are bitten the bites can have a lag p
eriod of up to 9 days. I'm thinking that I was getting bitten my entire stay, I just didn't notice them until Friday.
I am hoping that I haven't brought any home with me!!

I stayed at the downtown Marriott on Friday, June 11th...I cannot remember which room # I was in...I think it was 2022. I did not see any bugs but when I returned home to Baltimore on Saturday I had 4 itchy welts on my lower back all in a row. I just really hope I did not bring any of them home with me. I haven't had any new bites show up yet so hopefully that's a good sign.

I would be interested in contacting everyone else who experienced bed bugs at the Marriott Downtown. How do I go about doing this?

Young traveler, first solo trip at hotel out of town. July 3-5, 2009 in Room 833. Some bugs on bed at 3:45 a.m. (07/05) and a few on outside of suitcase. Cleaned/shook out personal items for an hour then called Front Desk at 4:40 a.m. to report. (On cell phone speaker-call with family member for advice during these activities.) Hotel Staff arrived within minutes to investigate. Asked about bites, etc. and then moved to a different room several floors up (15th floor) for remaining few hours until
checkout. No bites to report, thankfully. At checkout time (8:00 a.m.) points/credit was applied to bill.
Next day (07/06) received call at home from Corporate Offices to inquire about situation. Was advised that room was being sanitized by professional company & room furnishings would be incinerated for safety. Two days later (07/08) a letter from hotel arrived also advising that problem was being handled and asking that hotel be informed if there were any questions or developments. Hotel's response was prompt and efficient; don't know what else they should've done prior to incident.

I have recently found that I have bedbugs in my home. After adding up the timeline with my PCO, I have come to the conclusion that I took them home from the Marriott Center City Philadelphia during my stay on 2/21/2009. I have invested countless hours over the last week and a half, done everything I've been told, rid myself of most of my belongings, gone through one exterminator treatment (with two more scheduled), yet I woke up to find two more in my bed last night. This is beyond daunting.
I don't know what to do next.

We stayed in room 886 from September 24 through September 27. After the second night I noticed three welts in a row on my shoulder. The next night I noticed a few more and yet more the night after. On the way home I noticed intense itching, particularly on my hands and arms, and for the next two days dealt with a fairly severe allergic reaction with hands, wrists, and lips swelling up. I contacted the hotel who said they would investigate and get back to me. They never did.
