Bed Bugs in Wyndham Hotels

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts have over 8,000 locations across 18 brands and are a popular lodging location across the globe.

They have a spotless reputation and countless satisfied customers, however, as with any hotel, at times they encounter bed bug infestations.

Take a look at what you should do in case you encounter bed bugs at Wyndham hotels.

Perform a Bed Bug Check at Wyndham

A practice that can save everyone a lot of trouble wherever they travel is room inspection. Before you settle in your room, check for bed bugs at Wyndham.

1. Room Inspection

While their name suggests otherwise, bed bugs aren’t found solely in beds. When you enter your room, it’s in your best interest to carefully examine it and look at every nook and cranny. Typical locations where you’d notice Wyndham bed bugs are:

• Bed sheets  
• Mattresses
• Behind headboards
• Behind wallpapers
• In nightstands
• Any furniture

Because bed bugs cannot move well over smooth surfaces, the only places they avoid are tiles. You can find them anywhere else.

2. Evidence Detection

While bed bugs can be seen with the naked eye at any stage of their life, they’re difficult to catch, so look for evidence that is often left behind. Their eggs and waste are the easiest to notice, so look for those. Bed bug waste is typically red or black-colored, so it’s easily noticeable on bed sheets and mattresses.

3. What to Do When You Find Bed Bugs at a Wyndham Hotel

Your first step should be taking pictures as evidence and then immediately contacting the management.

You should immediately request a room change and ensure it’s in a part of the hotel that’s safe from infestation. It’s recommended that you book an entirely different hotel to stay on the safe side.

When You File a Claim for Bed Bugs at Wyndham

If you decide to file a claim against Wyndham for a bed bug infestation, you’ll need a few things:

Proof

If the management and staff are aware of the infestation but aren’t trying to resolve it, you should collect proof of their negligence.

Photo Evidence

Photographs are the best piece of evidence when you file a claim. Take pictures of bed bugs themselves if possible. If not, photograph any signs that they leave behind, waste, eggs, bites, and more.

Documentation

Keeping track of everything is easiest when you have documentation. So, write down:

• Names of staff members you speak with
• Dates
• Medical treatment you receive
• Days off work for recovery purposes
• Any other significant information
