Vazaha on 01/28/2012
Feb 25 & 26 I was in room 720. When I woke up on the morning of the 26th I found 4 or 5 large bleeding bite sites on groin area and buttocks, with large puffy red areas around them. At first I thought they were spider bites, but some image research on-line told me that were bed bug bites. I went to the front desk and quietly told me that WHILE THERE WERE NO BEDBUGS IN THEIR HOTEL, they would move me to another room. It was clear then, and later in the day, when I spoke to an assistant manager,
that the hotel or chain's policy was to completely deny any responsibility or any possible existence of bedbugs in their hotel. I happened to be working at a meeting nearby at THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION; so I found an entymologist and confirmed that I did have bedbug bites.
I had not been anywhere else, that I could possibly have been exposed to bedbugs. I am 100% sure they came from the hotel bed.
I have never read up on bedbugs before - so I don't know hotels usually behave when guests show up with bites. I would say that his hotel has a clear and scripted policy of denying any responsibility and following some sort of legal script with very specific and scripted language - that the employees have had to memorize. I will never stay in a Westin Hotel again
