Traveler: Bedbugs devoured me at Trump resort [View all]

“Don’t let the bed bugs bite” will never sound the same for business traveler Eric Linder after his March stay at Trump National Doral Miami resort.

Linder is suing presidential candidate Donald Trump’s resort, claiming he was attacked by voracious bed bugs during his night in one of the property’s fancy Jack Nicklaus-themed villas.

And, according to the Linder, the insects left dozens of swollen welts on his face, neck, arms and back and made him weary of staying in hotels, even 5-star ones like Trump’s Doral.

“I was deceived by Trump’s image,” Linder said. “It’s a 5-star resort where this shouldn’t happen. It was really traumatic.

“Trust me when I tell you it is horrible to wake up in the morning and understand that bugs were crawling all over you all night. It’s a nightmare.”

Linder, 63, of New Jersey, works for an insurance company he declined to name. He said he was at the resort for a pension-plan convention when he decided to extend his time on the property for a short vacation.
