| - This hotel has bed bugs FYI. And this is the second time I've felt compelled to write a review on Yelp. (I will attach photos)
I booked a commercial (I'm an actress) for a Lebron James Nike Commercial which was filming in Ohio. I traveled from LA to Ohio on Tuesday, October 20, 2015. I checked in to the Double Tree on Wednesday morning at 6am. When I walked into my room my first impression was it felt dirty and unclean. The first thing I saw when I opened the door to my bathroom was toilet paper floating in the toilet bowl- which was nasty, however I flushed it. I only had 3 hours to sleep before my call time so I fell asleep with boxers on and no t-shirt.
Worked a full day on Wednesday, October 21 and came back to the hotel after dinner to rest before my flight the next day.. in the same attire as the night before: boxers and no t-shirt.
Friday, October 23 when I was back home in LA I started to notice little bumps and rashes break out on my arms, neck, and stomach.
Over the weekend I started feeling like I was coming down with an illness and fever.
On Sunday I took photos of my body and realized something was terribly wrong. I had bumps all over my body except my higher thigh and butt region... I had never had bedbugs before but I knew this was that!
Long story short, I had my management get in contact with a bed bug attorney to contact the health inspectors in Ohio to check the Double Tree however by the time all of that got around the beds were "apparently" changed and it was too late (I didn't take legal action until a month or so after the fact- which is my fault and is why I feel like I had to write this review.)
In addition to myself getting bed bugs, another actor who was working on the same job, staying in the same hotel got bed bugs.
Since I act and model for a living I lost money from not being able to work gigs. It took 3 1/2 months for all the bites to finally heal and my skin to finally become kind of one pigment again.
It was emotionally draining and definitely made me feel self conscious.... I would hate for anyone to have gone through what I went through.
Moral of the story, this particular Double Tree Hilton is old and filthy- so I would suggest you to NOT stay here.
Just because you change the beds doesn't mean the bed bugs disappear they also live in carpet and many other areas.
Anyways, I'm attaching photos of the bites and the process of the 3 months in which it took for them to heal.
Now when I go to a hotel I never not wear a shirt to bed- I am fully dressed lol and if I sense any cleanliness issues I change rooms or hotels immediately.
Hope this saves anyone from experiencing what I had to go through.
