Bitten by bed bugs.

Bed bugs ruined what would have been a perfect stay. Everywhere seemed clean but bitten first night. Reported it and moved Rooms. Bitten again even worse than before. Room 28 then 26. Impossible to find evidence of these little critters but the bites so bad that they are mature bugs. These bites are very painful. Will never return to this hotel which is sad because we were happy with everything else.

Very pleased with the welcome. Room and facilities were excellent. One small criticism is the lighting, either everything on or just a bedside light.
