I've had my home inspected and was completely clean but went ahead and trashed my suitcase and some of my clothes just to make sure you don't infest my home and family. I am horribly disappointed and will never be back! I should stayed at your competitor instead. I feel disgusted that...

They sent me to housekeeping and the lady was very helpful and said she was ____ by the little bloodsuckers as well. Hoping that something was done about it, it's too nice of a hotel for them not to.

On Feb 10 2012 A readers comment: First, I am not reporting on bedbugs at this hotel, but rather my reaction in reading the dialogue between the guests and the management while searching for a pl. Galt Manager is NOT helpful. Attacking the bedbug registry, your guests accounts and denials are exactly the reason that Louisville is one of the most infested cities to be found in the nation (per 2010 reports abound)....

This anonymous posting is the first report we are have received anywhere around the dates you specified. If you stayed with us on Dec 9, but discovered bed bugs on Dec 17, then it is entirely possible that you contracted those pests at some other location. If you would like to discuss...

After researching on Mayo Clinic's site unfortunately my symptoms/red blood spots were identical to their photos on line. Yes, I'm upset. What I know for sure.I had no bites or symptoms prior to my stay. I have not reported as I doubt they would confirm if there have been previous reports of bed bug infestation in their establishment.

On Nov 28 2011 Del wrote, Dear Galt House: I seem to remember things a little differently. No one "sprang" into action. We asked about your bed bug policy, and got no response. As a matter of fact, house keeping insisted this was an isolated incident. As I said in my post, the Galt House did fully cooperate, however, it was at our requests, not your offering. No one bagged our luggage from your hotel; we bagged our luggage...

Hysteria over bed bugs is high these days, as is confusion over what a bed bug actually looks like. It is important for our guests to know that, as stated by the American Hotel & Lodging Association, bed bugs are not a symptom of hotel cleanliness or sanitation. Bed bugs are brought into hotels by guests and do not...

I called front desk to ask if they had a bed bug problem or previous reports. They said no. The chemical smell and the bloody bug crawling across my face tell me they were being dishonest/trying to hide it. I travel for work 2-3x a month. This place was the worst in some time.
