I am writing to formally report a serious issue encountered during our recent stay at the Ramada Inn Fresno North while attending the California Freestyle State competition with the Downey Wrestling program.
During our stay, one of our assistant coaches was bitten multiple times by what were later confirmed to be bed bugs. Upon returning home, I discovered a live bed bug crawling out of my luggage, suggesting that the infestation extended beyond a single room.
We brought this matter to the attention of the hotel staff, but were informed that “nothing could be done.” This response was both disappointing and concerning, especially considering the potential health and financial impact of a bed bug infestation.
I strongly urge the hotel to address this matter seriously by conducting a thorough inspection and implementing appropriate pest control measures. They stated they did not find anything but the bites on our assistant coach say otherwise, Until these steps are taken, I would advise other travelers to consider alternative accommodations. It is unfortunate since our program works extremely hard to fundraise and for us to not be compensated for a horrible stay is disappointing. Any events in Fresno , I definitely recommend another hotel.
