[Ed. Note: Bed bugs are still alive and kicking in Memphis, Tenn. This time they eat up a poor guest at the Comfort Inn.]

I just returned July 14th from a trip to Memphis, TN where I stayed at the Comfort Inn on Front St. in downtown Memphis.  It was an executive suite, Room 100 (on the main floor), and it had bedbugs. I ended up with more than 20 bites on my arms and legs. I thought all my itching and scratching was from mosquite bites from a 2-hour cruise. After 5 days, however, the bite marks appeared and it was clear that the culprit was bedbugs. They gave me a different room for my final night's stay, and at check-out credited my account for only $50.00! Not only that, but they charged me the same rate for their "regular" room as they did for the executive suite.  And they didn't even reimburse me for the Neosporin I purchased to rub on the bites. I had reserved 2 rooms, one for myself and one for my companion.  His room was on the 15th floor (Room 1512) and he had no bedbug problems.
