Bed bugs. I have multiple bed bug bites on my right leg, right arm and lower back. My pharmacist said they are consistent with the line of bites (breakfast, lunch and dinner) that bed bugs tend to make. It’s a shame as the hotel was good value for money and breakfast was good. Unfortunately the level of service offered when I reported the bed bug bites was appalling.
