Head Lice Lurking at Holiday Inns in Delaware

Where: 710 SOUTH COASTAL HIGHWAY [map], Bethany Beach, DE, United States, 19930

[Ed. Note: We still have scars from our elementary-school days when you got called into the nurse's office for a head-lice check. We can practically feel that wooden stick poking through our hair as we read this story about head lice in at a Holiday Inn in Delaware. As always this is just one person's side of the story.]

My daughter and I got head lice from Bethany Beach, Holiday Inn bed on September 23, 2006. We woke up to find head lice in our bed and the bedspread. I insisted that we must be moved to a different hotel. They booked me at the Holiday Inn in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  I spent hours treating my daughter and myself for head lice. I told them upon check in that we had lice and that all items used would be put into the hallway for immediate pick up by the housekeeping department.

I was shocked to see that every lice infested item was still in the hallway when we checked out at 9:00 the next day. Obviously, they were not concerned with spreading the lice in that hotel as well. I would never recommend anyone staying at either hotel. We have been dealing with the lice for the past two weeks, because a few eggs hatched and we had to treat ourselves all over again.
