INSECT INFESTATION........

SHORT AND SWEET - BAD CASE OF BED BUGS.......
I stayed at this hotel during a recent Mercedes-Benz management event, it was a one night stay. Upon arriving to the hotel and checking in, I found that they had our reservations all messed up. Not a huge deal, as I know that mistakes happen to everyone. Because I am very easy going and know that no one is perfect, I chose to overlook this blunder. Needless to say, as I awoke on the morning on the following day I found myself to have an extreme itching sensation and found that I had red bumps - both large and small all over my arms and legs and partially on my feet and ankles. There were no red bumps on the areas that were under the covered area of the clothing that I had worn to bed that night. REST ASSURED, THIS IS NOT CHICKEN POX OR MEASELS. After examinging myself in the mirror and having my business collegue take a look at my bumps, we had both come to the conclusion that these red marks must have been the result of some type of insect(s) that had attacked me during the night while I was asleep. After contacting the hotel to inform them of this issue, they stated that they brought in an outside contractor to inspect the room which after which they stated that they found no signs of any presence of any type of insects. I find it hard to believe that they would divulge any information that stated that they DID find an insect infestation in one of their rooms to suppress any negative press about them getting out. I travel my fair share and have been to numerous Sheraton Hotels and have had really good stays there. However, I will never go back to this place. It gives me the Hee Bee Geebies just thinking about it. Other than that, the food was good and the service was average to good. I give the service a poor rating because of how I was left out to dry in getting back to me. I am in the customer service industry and I can tell that the management that I dealt with was less than helpful. That being said, I would not wish this condition on my worst enemy and will never go back to that establishment ever again. Stay here at your own risk.
