They had booked the room for two nights and paid in advance, when they discovered the bites on their backs and arms they packed up their stuff and went to ask for a total refund of their money. The deskclerk said she would have to talk to the general manager, they have not heard from the gm yet and the deskclerk said they will have to provide a doctors note stating they are bedbug bites. This is outrageous and unfair. How can a company not offer them their money back to avoid any further mishaps. Totally unfair to this young family. Thank god they got out of that infested hotel before the kids got bit. Just to let people know that friends of mine stayed at the Thriftlodge in Saskatoon,SK and were bitten by bedbugs.

Wondered whether the hotel had confused roaches with bedbugs. Back in the day, when I saw my first bedbug in my bedroom, I did the exact same thing, mistakenly thinking I'd seen a cockroach. Hotel staff I spoke to lacked (feigned?) awareness about bedbugs. Said cockroaches were bona fide concern in their rooms, since they all have kitchenettes. Last week, roach motels under the bed.
