My friends always tease me for staying at inexpensive hotels, calling them flea-infested, unsafe, etc. Their flea-infested accusation might stand here. If I had to guess, I've averaged 10 nights of travel per year the last 5 years, whether hotel or Airbnb. Occasionally I'll stay at an expensive place, but mostly I'm at the Super 8, Motel 6, etc. This was the absolute worst experience I've ever had and I plan to never stay here again. I actually like Wyndham, but never again at this location.
I stayed here last Fri night, on the 4th of July, and checked out the next morning. I was itchy when I woke up, but after taking a shower I
was better. I thought maybe it was b/c it was summertime, I had sweat too much, should've showered before bed, etc. But nope, I got itchy again later in the day, and noticed some welts had formed on my neck. Even in the summertime I like to stay covered in long pants and a long-sleeved shirt (linen), and I did some sightseeing on Sat and didn't get home til after midnight. After I undressed, I was shocked. It's Sun 3 p.m. as I'm writing this. I had last night, and still have right now, about 15-20 welts on my legs, arms, and neck. Thank God I slept w/some clothing on. And this one part of my arm is more accurately described as a straight-up rash. I have to control myself b/c otherwise I'll scratch and scratch til I'm bleeding. This is just unbelievable. I've been in
the same house for 3 years and the same car for 5.5 years. I went to a Barnes & Noble cafe on Fri afternoon that I'd been to before, I went to the opera that night in Indianola that I'd been to before, I went to a restaurant Sat morning I'd never been to before, and a museum that afternoon I'd never been to before...But it's hard for me to believe I
caught something at any of those places, esp the way I dress. I really think I caught this at the hotel. Just unbelievable.
