Bedbugs in hotel…

Initially everything was fine, double bed and sofa bed which was small for 2 people however it did the job. On checking out though my wee boy&i who slept it on it felt a bit itchy which was strange and later we discovered more itchy spots on our backs and on visiting a pharmacy they confirmed we had been bitted by bedbugs… an email from the hotel asked for feedback so I wrote all this and it said they would contact me but I’m still waiting… we stayed in room 314. It’s defo put me off staying in hotels though and because we flew back I had to discard our pjs,clothes&bags so I wouldn’t end up with an infestation in my home…

It was a decent stay we had no issues with the hotel it was lovely and clean and the staff where lovely and very welcoming and helpful it was a little out of the way and Google maps kept sending us to the other holiday inn which is annoying when it’s midnight about trying to get back , yes we did put express at the end , but again that’s not down to the hotel just double check if visiting and trying to navigate, very little sleep due to noise of laundry delivery person outside very early but I am a light sleeper and before that students but the area is known for it and we had to keep the window open due to the heat but overall not a bad stay

The hotel was in university district. Liked the closeness to everything. Wifi was glitching and at one point stopped working when we needed it most. Not the fault of hotel. But only part that was annoying.
