On Sep 9 2012 I stayed @ Sheraton Towers for 2 nights on 09/07 & 09/08 2012. Did not notice any problem during my stay but have found bite marks on my lower back that appear to be from bed bugs. Worried what I brought home with me.

On Aug 22 2012 Disappointed Traveler wrote, I stayed at the hotel for the AFL-CIO conference on august 20 2012. The hotel is infested with bed bugs, it was the talk of the conference. The hotel moved individuals from one infested room to another with complimentary gifts. I asked that all my clothes were dry cleaned before returning home, and the hotel accommodated that request. I will never stay at that hotel again!

On May 20 2012 May 12, 2012 Our inlaws were staying on the 9th floor of the hotel in a newly renovated room, room 906, and although they did a thorough scan of the room and stripped the bedding, etc, the kids found one live bed bug the 2nd day of their stay. There was only 1 bedbug and they did not get bitten, but it was gross, nonetheless.

On Feb 15 2012 Stayed at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers January 2012 in R4125. With all of the reported cases, I was very worried about bed bugs. When I got to my room I took both beds apart and pulled the mattress up.no signs of bugs. I checked every day I was there and never found anything. I was relieved, but still worried that I was going to bring them home in my suitcase (which I kept in quarantine in...

On Jan 3 2012 Found them between the mattress cover and the fitted sheet. Reported them to front desk, who simply responded "what do you want us to do?" After requesting a new room, they made me wait for 20 minutes, and then moved me to a different room that was a downgrade. Very disappointing.

On Dec 19 2011 ...that was mostly to make me more comfortable psychologically. We found no trace of anything from bedbugs in the room, except for possible blood stains on the sheets. However, in a hotel, who knows which room the sheets were in before, and they should have all been laundered and dried before getting to that room anyway. Everything else appeared clean, and the room was quite large for New York standards....

On Oct 6 2011 We were just there last weekend and in room 2405 we found a live bed bug and the mattress was in a protective bag. The fact there were bed bugs was not the biggest surprise as all hotels in NYC will have a room or two with them. The frustrating part is how it was handled. The staff was rude and had no follow through. They told us to wait in the room while a manager came up. No manager came but a bell...

Going to the new, more expensive hotels that seem to take care of this issue much more effectively then the older Sheraton hotel. Horrible...

We really checked the mattresses, boxsprings and behind the headboards and didn't see anything - and no bites. We inspected and used...
