Bed Bugs!

Bed Bugs!
Ok so I waited a bit to leave this review because I thought I might need to stay here again. I lived in Avon for half a dozen winters. My housing fell through in mid ski season and needed a place to stay for a few weeks. The Christie Lodge has weekly and monthly rates so it was a clear choice. I paid for a month up front.
After about 3 nights I felt like I was being bitten by something. Wasn't sure what. It became apparent there was a issue. As I went to search the bed I lifted the mattress and seen small bugs running. They disappeared fast.
I didn't want to stir up problems for the lodge so I tried putting drier sheets between the box spring and mattress. Didnt work so I told the front desk. They said they would send up maintenance manager. ( he lives at the hotel).
Maintenance totally denied the ever had a bedbug problem which was the first sign of being BS'ed. All hotel are aware of bedbugs. He looked up images on the net and showed them to me. I said I recognized them. He said he didn't see signs of them when blood spots from being bitten were right there. Then he said bedbugs don't run away.
He then told me I probably brought them in the room and I was to blame. Impossible since I never had them at my apartment and I washed and dried everything before moving there. Our dryer was hot enough to kill bedbugs.
In any event I was forced to stay in that room for 2 more weeks before getting a new place in town.
The Christy Lodge never offered any compensation and wouldn't give me another room. They wouldn't even admit there was a problem. I still have picture of the bits in my phone. (That's what reminded me to leave this review)
This place is a outdated dump and wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
