Staying in room 214 in June of 2009 and got EATEN ALIVE! DO NOT STAY HERE! Didn't see the bugs or realize it had happened until the bites showed up a couple days later. It took a long internet search to realize what had happened, and by that point we'd already moved all our stuff into a new house. We washed everything as soon as we realized what had happened and crossed our fingers that we didn't infest our new place. Luckily it looks like we're ok. Gross.

09.20.09 room number 213

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the last year, and 75% of the time I have encountered bedbugs. And, yes indeed it is a place for people who did not get into homeless shelters that day; the city give vouchers for this hotel.

I have reported bedbugs to management several times and was meet with denial and aggression. I threatened to take them to small claims court to pay for all the dry cleaning I had to do and was quickly thrown out of the hotel.

This place will more than likely always have bedbugs. beware.

We stayed here one night in April/2008, mainly because we were super tired after a long flight and heading south the next morning. We knew Market St. wasn't great and needless to say, the motel clearly functioned as mostly a spot for prostitution. All the lovely noises that go hand in hand (screaming, fighting, pimps banging on the door, etc) kept us awake most of the night. The next morning, after turning on the lights, we found vomit and blood stains around the room and a fierce rash all over. We were full of bed bug bites! It was terrible, as all of out baggage was now contaminated. We had to get everything washed/dry cleaned when we reached LA and worse off, the manager would not give us a refund!

September 27, 2008. We checked into this Travelodge at about 2pm on Saturday, September 27, 2008. Room 231 Never thought to check for bedbugs but woke up on Sunday Morning and found blood spots on the mattress, then saw bugs moving on the sheets and when I touched them, they would squash easily on the sheets and leave a bloody mark. We immediately showered, packed up our bags and left. We went to the front desk to complain about the bugs and the manager gave us a refund immediately. We came home and are now faced with probably contaminated clothing, personal belongings, luggage, purse, shoes, etc.
We are considering taking them to small claims court.
Any advice about what to do once you get home would be appreciated. We are washing our stuff in hot water.

Woke up with bites and found dying bedbug by lamp. Decided to start this registry.
