I stayed at Hotel Rialto in early July, and my experience was both disturbing and disappointing. On the first morning, I woke up with unexplained bug bites. Since I was only staying for two nights and had never experienced bites like this before, I didn’t report it to the front desk at the time. After returning home, I discovered bed bugs in my luggage. I captured one, had it tested, and confirmed it was indeed a bed bug. The bites I experienced during my stay strongly suggest that the infestation originated from the hotel. I emailed the hotel’s manager, Victoria, who did respond promptly by hiring a pest control company to do an inspection. While the inspection didn’t find any bed bugs, what it did reveal was far more concerning. The pest control company discovered oranges under the counter attracting odorous house ants and potentially mice. They also found mice droppings and a nest just outside the dry storage area. In the dry storage/elevator room, they noted panko crumbs and a bag of flour sitting out. While these items haven’t been compromised yet, it’s only a matter of time, given the presence of mice droppings on all the shelves. Most alarming was the discovery involving the curtains in the lounge on the Douglas Street side. Both sides of the curtains had been chewed, and nests were found inside them. The pest control company indicated that this problem has likely been ongoing for more than a year, given the amount of sebum from the mice fur on the floor beneath the curtains. Apparently, these curtains haven’t been opened in years, making them an undisturbed haven for rodents. The pest control company flagged this situation as urgent, yet it’s unclear what steps, if any, have been taken to resolve it. I now regret not reporting the bites earlier, but I was genuinely unaware of what they were at the time. I have photos of the bites and a lab report confirming the presence of bed bugs, which I’m willing to share to warn other travelers. While I appreciate Victoria's prompt response in hiring a pest control company, the issues uncovered during the inspection are simply unacceptable. These conditions point to serious ongoing hygiene and maintenance failures that no reputable hotel should have. Guests deserve a clean, safe environment, and I strongly urge management to take immediate action to address these critical concerns and take care of customers when they do have an issue.
