A video that appears to show a gigantic bedbug infestation at a New York City hotel has gone viral, disgusting hundreds of thousands.
A couple from California stayed at the Astor on the Park Hotel on the Upper West Side near Central Park, claiming they found an infestation of the tiny insects in a mattress. One of the guests took out his phone and started recording.
Elgin Ozlen and his girlfriend were in New York City during the New Year’s celebration and stayed at the hotel. The couple arrived at the hotel on Wednesday.
“It looked like black mud was jammed into the seam of the bed,” he told the New York Daily News. “I lost it. They looked like they could hurt horses. It was a colony, a breeding ground.”
He said his girlfriend suffered approximately 75 bedbug bites on her fingers, arms, toes, and stomach.
Hotel guests were shocked to see the video footage, with some saying they would find another place to stay, the Daily News reported.
