Couple sues hotel for $20,000,000, claiming they were bitten hundreds of times by bed bugs. Oh, and please ignore the fact that we returned to stay at the exact same hotel nine days later. 'Bedbug' pair back days later BY HELEN PETERSON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER There may be some bugs in their story. A couple who filed a $20 million lawsuit against a Catskills hotel after allegedly being attacked by bedbugs returned to the resort for another stay just nine days later, a lawyer for the hotel told the Daily News yesterday. Leslie Fox and Stephen Cohen checked in at the Nevele Hotel on July 15, 2005 - then returned from July 24 to July 29, attorney Joseph O'Connor said. "The claim for a $20 million injury is not substantiated by her willingness to stay in the same section of the hotel two weeks later," he said. Fox, 54, claims in a suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court that she experienced "great physical and mental pain" after suffering 500 bedbug bites during a July 10-15 visit to the Nevele. Fox told The News yesterday that she returned to the hotel a second time because her husband was under contract to give a lecture on Jewish humor and she wanted to go with him. "I was absolutely loath to have to go back there, and I went back with great apprehension," Fox said. She did not mention the second visit during a news conference on Tuesday. In fact, she said then that she balked at the hotel's offer of two free nights to make up for their alleged ordeal. Fox said the tab for both of her visits was picked up by Elderhostel, an educational travel group geared toward older adults. She said her husband is an instructor with the group. "I think he probably could have done it without her," O'Connor said, insisting that the hotel is denying any liability and conducting a full investigation. Meanwhile, Fox's lawyer, Alan Schnurman, said he was contacted by another patron of the hotel who said she suffered bedbug bites there during a visit in November. |
