This news<\/a> really bites for out-of-towners dreaming of a New York City visit.<\/p>\n

Some 188 local hotels, including 108 located within a one-mile radius of Times Square, have allegedly hosted some very unwanted guests in recent years: bed bugs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to a skin-crawling new study<\/a> from Pest Strategies, an online resource for pest removal tips and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo bring to light a report that really highlights hotels as the main transmission vector is important,\u201d said 30-year-old Shane Dutka, an operations manager at the Raleigh, NC-based portal, who helped compile the report. \u201cI think this is totally underreported. I think there are many, many bed bug cases that never reach [the news].\u201d<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s biggest offender is the Queens County Inn and Suites in Long Island City, which has had 36-bed bug complaints since 2010 \u2014 seven of them between January 2018 and February 2020.<\/p>\n

The hotel, which didn\u2019t return a message seeking comment, received its most recent infestation complaint in January.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Both our] beds were infested with bed bugs,\u201d claims an anonymous comment posted on The Bedbug Registry<\/a>, a public database that tracks sightings of the creepy crawlers across the US and Canada. \u201c[My friend] was itching after breakfast and saw them crawling on the sheet \u2026 when I turned over my cover \u2026 they were so many \u2026 as I turned over the cover they were everywhere on the walls ceiling etc \u2026 and we were bitten all over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pest Strategies compiled bed bug reviews for 758 city properties from The Bedbug Registry, Bed Bug Reports and Trip<\/a>advisor. To determine the 10 most infested, the group compared each hotel\u2019s all-time bed-bug complaint count against the number of bug-related reviews received between 2019 and 2021. Complaints including libel or inaccurate descript<\/a>ions with no photo evidence didn\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do review these reviews and we make sure that we use our best judgment,\u201d Dutka. \u201cWe tried our best to keep things as true and narrow as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Midtown\u2019s Wellington Hotel, now closed until January 2022 due to a flood-related elevator replacement, ranked No. 2. It has 20 all-time bed bug complaints, the most recent of which came via Tripadvisor<\/a> in November 2020, one month before the hotel temporarily shut.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe staff didn\u2019t want to come in and check when I called them in to show the bedbug,\u201d wrote the commenter. \u201cThe manager wanted me to be out so she can send inspection. She claimed they couldn\u2019t find any but it was [a] total coverup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henry Demera, 46, the Wellington\u2019s security director \u2014 his department first responds to bed bug complaints to gather information \u2014 told The Post the hotel gets daily extermination treatments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the rare instance that it is positive, we fumigate the room,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have gone as far as to basically demo a room \u2026 the hotel takes it very seriously.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

No. 3 is The Bowery House in Nolita, which has had eight complaints since 2018 and didn\u2019t return messages seeking comment. Nor did the art deco Hotel Edison, which is steps from Times Square and came in at No. 5. Its most recent complaint came in December 2019, when a visitor from the United Kingdom alleged<\/a> \u201cyou could see the blood where they had bitten on the sheets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had mattress covers on [the beds],\u201d said 44-year-old Edison guest Donna Larrick. Visiting from Milwaukee, Wis., she was one of dozens of guests entering and leaving the busy hotel on a recent Wednesday. \u201cI always check.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hotel visitors tend to bring in the critters on luggage or clothing \u2014 and, as more people visit the Big Apple this year, complaints could worsen.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York, because of a dense population and the amount of travel, it\u2019s just so common to see [bed bugs]. I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll only continue as we get out of COVID,\u201d said Dutka.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
