Never again! Positive: Bedbugs! Beware! Omgosh! We ran out and grabbed out things without staying! Bugs on the blanket, pillow, and on the bed! Eew!!!!!! We literally ran out in jammies just before getting into the bed. The matters was like a cot from M.A.S.H. it was a crazy disappointment because the outside was cut and the inside was tidy. (It was several rooms with a keyed door and a bed). It was not as described, but we tried to make the best of it until we found all of the bugs! We bugs! We literally ran out in nightgowns and slippers! And have video to prove it! Negative: The bugs!!!!!!! I cannot get any of the videos to upload, but I have text the number that was given to me and I have emailed the email that was given to me for the location several times now. 312-536-9423. file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/0d/13/9EA02CD3-2F1C-4DD9-9AB4-10BB77C0CE83/IMG_6073.MOV
