She is accompanied with her three girlfriends and they we surprised to see bed bugs in their room including the night stand next to bed.

“It was painful. We were scratching a lot.” Almario said.

The ladies asked to be transferred to a different room but since it was Coachella, the said hotel was already fully booked.

Almario and her friend who were bitten badly said that they had no choice but to sleep at the car.

However, Motel 6 refunded their full three-night stay worth $790.

The hotel issued a statement and said, “Our staff works diligently to check for signs of bed bugs regularly. As soon as we are made aware of a suspicion of bed bugs in a specific area…the area remains secured until the professional exterminators clear it for use.”

Before you go to a big event like this, always make sure to know well the hotel you are planning to stay at to avoid things like this.
