"I woke up itching and found that I had a squashed a bed bug on my arm. I found another live bed bug crawling on my bed. I told the staff and they moved me to a different room (which they said didn’t have bed bugs and I wondered why people weren’t already sleeping there?) This seemed to be a common occurrence here and I feel like they may have already known about their bed bug problems."
