  • Besse claims he was "bitten numerous times by cimicidae (bed bugs)" during his stay on May 15, 2022, resulting in "scarring, bodily injury, pain and suffering," and other damages.
  • The lawsuit, filed in March in Florida’s Orange County Circuit Court, seeks damages exceeding $50,000 and requests a trial by jury.
  • Besse also cites medical expenses, loss of earnings, and property damage as consequences of the alleged incident.
  • He accuses the hotel operator of failing to adequately train staff for room inspections, use insecticidal dust, or implement protective mattress encasements.
