Best Western Primrose Hotel. Was there for the weekend of June 7th to the 9th, 2008. Noticed hives on my arm on the 8th. Didn't think much of it. Got worse over the weekend. Also noticed a sickly-sweet smell in the room. I didn't feel comfortable with the room but was willing to put up with it. Saw a bug but didn't know what it was (didn't look it up afterwards either)Battled severe hives over the past two months. Doctor told me what is was...bedbugs. Looked on-line to see what they look like (confirmed). Looked around my bedroom sure enough. The little buggers hitched a ride to my house.

The Best Western Carlton Hotel has a chronic problem with bed bugs. There are a few floors that are considered problem floors. And the staff have to deal with regular reports from guests and students about bed bugs.

During the double cohort, U of T students were housed at the hotel. During mid term, they were moved to hotels all over the city when a massive bed bug infestation took over the U of T floors.

There are some floors that are problem free.

Best Western Primrose Hotel - had a significant problem several years ago on many floors. Uncertain of current status.
