this info is if you can't/won't name the hotel in mention.
Thanks for the blow by blow description of bed-bug symptoms and 'what to look for' at cheaper hotels...but we can probably figure that out for ourselves without too much trouble.
If a hotel is having sanitation issues like bed-bugs,its probably fair to say there could be other (perhaps more serious) problems in other areas, like food preparation for example.
I think it's your obligation to warn BT Forumites about this particular hotel so that we may avoid it if we choose.
Why are you protecting this hotelier at the expense of people on this forum who may be considering staying there?...didn't you say you "binned most of your clothes" as a result? Poor hygiene is something that can absolutely ruin a holiday.
Come on mate!!!
I happen to know which hotel you're referring to here and after hearing other stories about indifferent service from hotel staff etc,etc it would seem this is a place to avoid.
By all means,speak or write to the manager on his return, but tell him you've posted a warning to others on this forum and see if he doesn't put a rocket up the staff...and maybe,just maybe he'll turn it back into the nice little hotel it once was.
