A spokesperson from the hotel responded to KCTV5 News saying that the biggest issue that hotel has is bedbugs, which are brought into hotels from other people.  To avoid being sued the hotel made it protocol to evict whoever was staying in that room so the situation can be properly handled.

What do you think?  Is it right for a hotel to evict someone when the bedbugs were there to begin with?  Have you ever had a similar situation happen to you?  Share your thoughts with us below.
