ON THE EVENING OF SUNDAY 03/17/19 MY WIFE AND I CHECKED INTO THE RED ROOF INN (#401) AT 1806 E. CHOCOLATE AVE, HERSHEY, PA 17033. WE CHECKED IN AT 3PM ON THE NOSE, PLACED OUR BAG IN THE ROOM (103), FRESHENED UP AND LEFT FOR DINNER THEN A CONCERT AT THE GIANT CENTER, RETURNING AROUND 1130PM. WE ENTERED THE ROOM EXHAUSTED, SHOWERED AND WENT TO BE. AROUND 3-30AM, I WOKE AND FELT AN ITCH ON MY SIDE. I FELT SWELLING THAT WAS SIMILAR TO A BUG BITE AND I GOT THE “OH NO” THOUGHT BUT DIDN’T PANIC AS I DIDN’T WANT TO ALARM MY SLEEPING WIFE. I GOT OUT OF BED AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM WHERE I COULD TURN THE LIGHT ON AND LOOK AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD 2 BITES ON MY LEFT SIDE AND A THIRD ON MY RIGHT SIDE. AT THAT POINT MY SKIN WAS CRAWLING AND I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON, WOKE MY WIFE UP AND TOLD HER THAT WE WERE LEAVING. AT THIS POINT MOVED THE PILLOW AND I SAW SOMETHING SMALL AND BLACK CRAWL QUICKLY AROUND THE BACK OF THE MATTRESS. I GRABBED A ZIPLOC BAG I HAD FOR MY BAR OF SOAP, I PICKED THE MATTRESS UP AND WAS ABLE TO GRAB IT IN THE BAG. I CRUSHED HIM A LITTLE, SMEARING WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE MY OWN BLOOD ON THE SIDE OF THE SHEETS. WE GOT DRESSED (OUR CLOTHES WERE HUNG UP) AND BAGGED EVERYTHING IN A TRASH BAG. I PHOTOGRAPHED WHAT I COULD, WE LOADED THE CAR AND WERE OUT BEFORE 4AM. I RANG THE BELL AT THE LOBBY DOOR AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE ATTENDANT. I ADVISED HIM THAT I WANTED A REFUND AND SHOWED HIM THE BED BUG IN THE BAG. HE TRIED TO GET ME TO HAND IT TO HIM AND I REFUSED, I TOLD HIM TO JUST REFUND MY CARD. HE ADVISED THAT THERE ARE NO BED BUGS IN HIS HOTEL. I TOLD HIM I HAD BITES TO PROVE OTHERWISE AS WELL AS PHOTOS AND THE ACTUAL BUG. HE BECAME NASTY WITH ME AND I TOLD HIM FINE, BUT I WASN’T GOING TO LET ANYONE ELSE SUFFER AS I HAD. I WENT OUTSIDE AND BEGAN BANGING ON THE DOORS OF OTHER OCCUPIED ROOMS AND ADVISING THE OTHER GUESTS OF THE BUGS. HE BEGAN SCREAMING OUT THE DOOR (LOBBY WAS A SEPARATE BUILDING) THAT HE WAS GOING TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME, I TOLD HIM TO GO AHEAD. I FILED A COMPLAINT LATER THAT DAY (1:34PM) WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE AFTER SITTING ON HOLD THE FIRST TIME FOR 9 MINUTES AND THE SECOND TIME FOR 15 MINUTES AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH A RESOLUTION. THE FOLLOWING DAY, 03/19/19 AT 11:46AM I RECEIVED A RESPONSE DENYING EVERYTHING NOT FROM CORPORATE, BUT FROM THE MANAGER OF THAT LOCATION, AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A TEMPLATE
