Stayed for one night & the bed was comfortable, maybe because the head lice were nesting there & on the pillows? I left feeling fine, but 3 days later I was itching my scalp & felt like little things crawling on my scalp. Yes, I had head lice. I did not go anywhere after the hotel that I was in contact with other people. We went to a drive in movie (so sat in our car) then drove home & stayed home for the next 2 days. It is now 1 1/2 months later & I think I have finally gotten rid of my head lice. 3 different treatments later & I still get freaked out thinking I had these little mites living on my scalp. I've never had head lice before, and wouldn't wish this on anyone. I complained to the hotel & their response was: "Head lice do not like to reside off the human head as the ambient temperature is not appropriate and their food source is not there. After being off the head for about 24 hours, head lice will die on their own. Because of this, the most common way to contract head lice is by way of direct contact with another person’s head who has lice." This is untrue, head lice are rarely found in hotels, but they can be & they definitely can live for more than 24 hours. Obviously they do not have cleaning protocol, which is scary in so many ways. I would tell everyone to stay far away from this establishment. I will also bring my own pillows everywhere I go now as I am so scared because of this incident.
