Hotel Conrad di Los Angeles

07/26 (approximately 1pm) in room 1525: One of the four guests in our room discovered what appeared to be a bedbug in the sheets in addition to a blood stain. She caught it, bagged and sealed it, and immediately reported it to the hotel who sent up Gabriel, the head of security. He claimed that in his experience, bed bugs are not visible to the human eye (which is untrue). The hotel reached out to Ecolab for an inspection and let us know that it would probably take place on the same day in the afternoon. They then offered us a temporary king bedroom (1621) until another double became available with no further instructions. We asked for plastic bags, packed and sealed our belongings, and left them in room 1525 along with the sealed bug. We bought new clothes and all took hot showers, doing our best as guests to prevent spread. When we asked that our items be heat treated, the hotel said we had to wait for inspection results. Adam, the assistant front office manager, provided us with the information that Ecolab would not be able to provide an inspection until the morning of 07/27, our checkout date. We finally got our new double room, 2313, around 9:43 PM on 07/26. I checked in with management on 07/27 at 8:08 AM about the inspection which they now claimed was in the afternoon. Because we needed to checkout, we insisted that all our clothes be heat treated. Brittany, the manager on site and Vanessa, manager of housekeeping, was able to accomplish that for us. At 1:09, we received a call from Abigail Santos, assistant director of housekeeping, letting us know that our room tested negative for bed bugs. I was relieved to hear the results but when I asked what the bug in the bag was, she told me that Ecolabs said it was probably a mosquito. It was definitely not a mosquito. It turns out they didn't check the bagged bug despite the fact that I mentioned how it was sealed and where it was it to every staff member I spoke to during this whole debacle. Abigail and I went down to 1525 to look at the sealed bug together. She agreed it wasn't a mosquito and let me know that they would do a second inspection. The hotel returned our heat treated belongings and we were ready to check out at 2pm on 07/27. I had a copy of the negative test results, but I also wanted a record that they did not inspect the bug that we found. When I asked the on-site manager Makayla for it, she simply smiled and said it wasn't available and that I'd be emailed the second inspection results. She said ”The first inspection result was negative for an infestation, but we can offer you a one day gift certificate for your frustrations.” I declined the offer. This was infuriating and it made me cry as I never asked for refunds or perks. I simply wanted them to acknowledge their mistake and to have a record of it. I requested that they respond to my text regarding the second inspection and after Makayla texted me that she would email me the results, I left the premises. My friends and
