Super 8 Hotel Bed Bugs

Super 8 has over 2,000 locations all over the world. Owned by Wyndham Worldwide, they cater to thousands of travelers every year.

Bed bugs are found at hotels of all sizes and reputations. Guests may suffer from bed bug bites at Super 8 hotels. This is often a result of insufficient inspection protocols and training. Along with general negligence on the part of staff and management at Super 8.

No one wants to deal with a bed bug infestation.

Here are a few tips to avoid that…

Performing an Initial Check for Bed Bugs in Super 8 Hotel

Step 1: Inspect the room thoroughly before settling in for your stay.

Infestation can be present in any hotel, no matter the reputation. Be sure to check every inch of the room for bugs.

Step 2: Check for evidence of infestation.

You can see bed bugs at every stage of life. It’s crucial to check for any signs of bed bugs. Check for eggs, live bugs, and any forms of waste left behind. You can recognize waste by look for red-colored spots left behind. If you find any evidence take photographs and video.

Step 3: Inspect specific locations

Do not settle in before checking the bed bug hot spots. These common spots include:

  • bed sheets,
  • mattress seams,
  • under the mattress and box spring,
  • behind baseboards and headboards, and
  • all other furniture

Step 4: If you find bugs, notify management immediately

Look to book another room or check out of the hotel completely. If booking another room in the same hotel, be sure it’s in an uninfested part of the hotel. You’re better off booking a room in a different hotel. This way you’re guaranteed to be safe from infestation.
