NEW YORK - An opera singer has sued the Hilton Hotels Corp. for $6 million, complaining she suffered 150 bites from bedbugs on her arms, chest, neck and face when she stayed in one of its hotels in Arizona.
Soprano Alison Trainer claimed she was bitten at Phoenix’s Hilton Suites between Nov. 20 and Nov. 26, and said the bites were a “horrific” experience that left her afraid to sleep in a bed, caused her to lose weight and made her uncomfortable about her physical appearance.
“She looks like a piece of wood that has been attacked by termites,” said Trainer’s attorney, Kenneth J. Glassman.
Court papers say Trainer noticed the bugs on Nov. 26 and reported “brutally conclusive proof” of the infestation to hotel officials

Enough said.
any hotel chains offer tempurpedic beds?
Only 103.
For 6 mil, I'd let a few thousand of the little bastards bite me.
"For 6 mil, I'd let a few thousand of the little bastards bite me."
Agreed!
It happened cause she didn't know the magic phrase: "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite."
Heh-heh-snif-snif-heh-heh, he said wood.
I was bitten twice in a two bit a night hotel in the Atlas mountains after a new Land Rover broke down.
I spent the rest of the night sleeping in a chair!
Where's my 6 mil?
It was so bad, it took 5 nights for her to escape from the grasp of the bedbugs. The bedbugs brought spiders into the conspiracy in order to tie her to the bed posts.
My one boss is a truck driver, and he stays in some really cheapo motels sometimes. I always wonder how it is that he's never yet encountered those critters.
That's what got me. Who would sit (or lay) still long enough for that many bites?
Whoa! You can't be the "fat lady" that sings at the end of the opera if you're losing weight.

I doubt that her weight loss is a Karen Carpenter scale emergency.
If you saw an old moth-eaten sofa in an alley in the Bowery, would you lie down in it and take a nap? Sometimes I think staying in a hotel is just about equivalent to doing that. You don't know who slept in that bed before you got there. And the Hilton is just about the worst! Yuck!
Hilton Hotels Corp should offer to treat her bed with 500 lbs of Malathion on her next visit.
For a moment I was going to top your offer with something mentioning Hillary, but just visualizing it thoroughly grossed me out.
They can't print enough money for that.
I wonder how she discovered it wasn't scabies (takes weeks to realize you're infested with them)? Even 'clean' people can be infested with scabies before they realize they're there.
Would that 6 mil. be a bed bug offset?
I can't believe she was actually counting.
BTW, where's the photo post of Alison?
