Stayed one night Jun 27, 2026. Developed itching and huge bites on my hands, neck, face, and arms the next day. Researched the bites online with photos and realized it was from bed bugs! Attempted to talk with General Manager and Guest Services 3x with no return calls to this day . Beware of the Lambuth Inn. They lack the respect and decency to even respond to my concerns or offer a refund. Very disappointed!
