Bed Bug Infestation Reports and Google Maps Tracking the Bed Bugs Epidemic - March 2018  
Hotel and vacation rental owners and managers owe a duty of care under common law to provide a clean and safe place for their guests. There are many state laws to protect the rights of guests from bed bug infestations and the injuries and property damage they cause. 
Common types of compensation for bed bug bites at hotels: Medical and emergency room expenses. Future cost of medical care including 
Rehabilitation and cosmetic surgery. 
General Pain and suffering. 
Property damage, including infested clothing and luggage. 
Recovery for lost time at work and loss of future income due to long-term disability. 

Some hotels didn’t have in place or implement protocols and procedures for bed bugs prevention. So these are some of the things you should do to collect evidence: 
Use the plastic cup to trap and catch any bedbug you find. 
Take a picture or make a video clip with your phone: 
-Of the bites on your body
-Of any blood on the sheets
-Of crushed insects 
-Of stains from their waste 
-And how you trapped them. 

Try and get the hotel staff to come and have a look to acknowledge the evidence. Ask that they put all your luggage in a deep freeze (bed bugs are killed by -5°C / 23°F) for over 24 hours Ask for help with washing at high temperatures (over 60°C / 140°F) 

It could be you that brought the eggs or live bedbugs with you with your luggage from the plane or taxi. 
So, give them a chance! Let the hotel try and resolve the issue first. 
Let them try to accommodate you so you feel comfortable.
Ask for your money back, and usually, it will not be disputed from the hotel. If they do argue, then threaten them with exposure. Ask to change rooms, or even change hotels if that's possible. 
Submit the hotel name at The Bed Bug Registry or BedBugReports.com 
Leave a review. 
Keep in mind that a negative review could be extremely damaging to a hotel’s business. 
Very often the hotels are pretty clean, and previous guests have carried the bedbugs along with them. 

What if the hotel didn't help or assist you? 
You can sue them!
