My husband was at a conference at this hotel this past August and upon his return my brother had visited with us and had a row of small bites on his arm and leg. Soon after we began to find small bugs around our bed. We had never had any occurrences of any bug infestation prior to this so I was concerned as to where they would have come from. In my research I read that the bugs could be carried from hotel in your luggage and this was the only place either of us had visited recently. If you're going to stay here be sure to have them inspect the room prior to.

I stayed at this hotel for a conference for three nights from 7/15/09 to 7/18/09. I don't remember what room I was in, but it was on the 10th floor in the new tower. On my last night there, I woke up with several bites on each arm. I could tell they weren't mosquito bites, and my initial response was concern that they were bedbug bites. When I got home, I googled pictures of bedbug bites, and they looked like what I had. I saw a friend a few days later who had experience with bedbugs, and she confirmed my bites were from bedbugs. I called the hotel 4 days after I checked out and reported that I'd been bitten by bedbugs in their hotel. They took down all my information, including the number of bites I had and where they were located. They did not apologize or express concern, and they told me that nobody had reported bedbugs in that room before. They said someone would get back to me within 3 to 5 days. It's been two weeks now, and nobody has called me.

Since my stay there, I've heard three stories (one firsthand, two secondhand) of people who attended the same conference and thought they'd been bitten by bedbugs in this hotel. I know at least one other person reported her bites to the Marriott.
