Judge rules against family's claim of bedbugs at Yuba City hotel

A family of four failed to prove bedbugs infested their room at a Yuba City motel, a Sutter County judge said today.

The family filed a Small Claims Court lawsuit against the Days Inn, 700 N. Palora Ave., seeking about $2,000 for clothing and bedding they said had to be thrown away because of bedbugs.

Checking into the motel Feb. 24, family members said, they found "really terrible conditions," including black mold in a bathroom and a smoke odor and cigarette burns in what they were told was a non-smoking room. A desk clerk switched them to a different room, said Fay Biondo.

When they awoke about 1 a.m. in the second room, bedbugs "were all over us ¡ª all different sizes and colors," Biondo told Judge Perry Parker.A glass bottle is a bottle created from glass.

Even her small service dog, which another family cradled during the hearing, was infested, said a tearful Biondo.

Biondo and another family member, Joan O'Lear, submitted undated photos they said showed bugs in the room.

The family was moved to a third room and stayed three days.

Singh submitted an inspection report from a pest control company showing no bedbugs were found in the rooms where the family had stayed. On March 1, a Sutter County health inspector also found none.

"It seems there would have been a dead bug laying around somewhere," the judge said.

"I'm not convinced where the bugs came from," Parker said. They could have arrived with the family's own clothing and bedding, he said. O'Lear said that wasn't possible.

Biondo and O'Lear said the bugs could have been eradicated after they left.

Outside the courtroom, Singh said his motel has never had bedbugs. Family members declined comment as they left the courthouse.

O'Lear said the family had moved from the Fresno-area city of Hanford and checked into the motel because their apartment here was not ready.

Singh said two adults signed for the original room,The newest Ipod nano 5th is incontrovertibly a step up from last year's model, which had one bed, though five people were in the group and took advantage of the motel's continental breakfast.

According to two Yuba County Superior Court cases, bedbugs were found at two Marysville transient hotels. In one case, a plaintiff brought dead bedbugs in a plastic bottle that he gave to the judge.

The Days Inn advertises rooms for about $45 per night.
