Hi,On Monday night my daughter and I stayed in at a well-known discount motel chain in a medium-sized city in Missouri. About 40 min. after falling asleep, awoke because of burning and itching on my arms and feet. Got out of bed, arms had welts, and looked at the sheets and saw two bedbugs bright red with blood-- small one and large one.The night clerk offered to refund money, but it was 12:30 am, so I asked to be moved to a different building where we had no further problems. I presented her with the two live bedbugs in a piece of cellophane. She apologized, but you could tell she wasn't shocked.I've got over 30 really burning, painful welts. Can a person file some kind of lawsuit against this motel chain for my grief, or is this just too common of an occurance for travellers?
