I too stayed at the Hilton NY (Avenue of the Americas) during the week of April 7th,2010. I noticed bites right away but thought they were mosquito bites. Once I suspected that they were bed bug bites, I contacted the Hilton immediately. I went to the doctors and it was confirmed, bed bug bites!! I am so petrified! It is annoying, uncomfortable and no matter what I am doing or saying I always feel like something is biting me and I scratch 24/7. My house, my clothes, everything I own is infested. In the process now of trying to get my house back to normalcy. It’s a shame that a conglomerate such as the Hilton struggles with the fact that there establishments can/do have bed bugs. Do they not know there is an epidemic of bed bugs in new york right now, or do they live in a “plastic” bubble.

April 6-15, 2010 several bites showed up on my arms and legs after spending 9 days at NYC Hilton. I am dismayed.

I stayed at the Hilton New York the night of June 29th and the bites showed up a couple of days later. It is the only hotel I'd been in for a 2 week period, so I know I got them there, about 9 itchy bites. I'm very disappointed in the hotel and the chain. I'm a GOLD VIP and I'm now looking for a new hotel chain.

3/4/-3/6/08 I also brought bedbugs home from the Hilton in NYC on 6th and 53rd. The first night I stayed there I couldn't stop itching, the second night was even worse. On the flight back the itching had not stopped but I thought it was just the detergent used on the sheets. When I got home I found a bug on the floor, I know now that it was an engorged bedbug. I suspected that this might be the case since I friend of mine had the same problem at the Hilton. I have both confirmation from the doctor and exterminator that I indeed have bedbugs. This experience has also been horrifying for me and terribly uncomfortable. I throw out clothing and furniture to be on the safe side. I have been in contact with the Hilton and of course they have denied the claim (which I knew they would). They said that the room checked out and their exterminator saw nothing. I know I didn't have the problem before hand and experienced terrible itching during my stay and after, my question to the Hilton is if I had them before I came then why aren't they in the room now, wouldn't I have brought them in with me, something doesn't add up!!

I stayed at the Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas in July 2007 and came home with bites in a linear pattern on my side. The Doctor informed me that I had been bitten by bed bugs. Long story short they infested my house and it has been two months. I have paid the exterminator, have had to wrap all my bedding in plastic for weeks before having it dry cleaned, slept with double sided tape around my bed so they get stuck in it, thrown out a chair in my bedroom that became infested and lived a nightmare. I finally think that they are all killed. They traveled in my suitcase home from the Hilton. The Hilton claims that they have dogs that can sniff them and still have not settled my claim. I am absolutely traumatized by the experience.
