Checked in on Thursday, Nov 15 in the evening; stayed in room 2511; checked out the next morning. My right upper arm was itching like crazy at lunch. Kept itching. When I got home around 9:30 pm and was able to look at my arm, there were 2 sets of welts in clusters of 3. The were colorless but raised. By the next morning, they became red. And by this morning--3 mornings later--they are larger and much more red.

I never saw any bugs, and didn't even think about what this could be until I came home and my wife helped me research.

I called Marriott Rewards yesterday (Saturday) and they reported it to the hotel management. I haven't heard back from anyone yet. I've also reported my encounter on Trip Advisor.

I'm petrified if I brought any bugs home with me.
