Original Comment My wife and I stayed for three nights at the Holiday Inn Express in West Long Branch, NJ from a Tuesday through a Friday. We had no problem the first day. However, on Thursday morning, my wife woke up with bites all over her body which itched her terribly. After showing the bites to a pharmacist, we were told that they were definitely insect bites but not necessarily bed bug bites. After some research, we were told that bed bugs normally bite females and bite in a straight line which matched my wife's bites perfectly. We were advised to buy cortizone and Benedryl and move immediately out of the room. After complaining to the person at the desk, we were switched to another room, i.e. from #231 to #229. Bitten again the second day, my wife spoke to the manager-on-duty who dismissed it as bed bugs telling us the bites should be more red and we should find blood and feces in the bed. We went to an emergency clinic on Saturday and my wife was told that it definitely was insect bites and, since I was not bitten, they probably were bed bugs. He also prescribed an anitbiotic to take care of any infection caused by scratching the bites. We immediately went home, washed and dried our clothes at high temperatures and threw away two suitcases. I need reimbursement for my nights spent at the hotel and for the medications and luggage.
