"The first morning, when I woke up, I noticed a couple of bites on my arm, but I didn't think anything of it. And then, the second morning is when I noticed all the bites, and that's when it got worse."
Jales St Pierre said she was bitten about 90 times, which caused her to be out of work for two months.
Her lawyer, Brian Virag, said the model got "absolutely massacred".
Jales St Pierre's complaints come after a high profile former police officer claimed he was also bitten by bed bugs at the Palm Springs hotel.
Former police sergeant Gary Bruce, who was in one of the lead cars during the famous OJ Simpson "white Bronco chase" in 1994, said he was bitten during a stay in June and is also suing the hotel.
"There's no doubt in my mind it was definitely bed bugs," he said.
In a statement, Embassy Suites said it inspected both rooms in each incident and had them checked by an external pest company, but found no evidence of any pests, including bed bugs.
"We did all the proper protocols and found no evidence," manager Carlos Mendoza said. "Now we have to go through the lawsuit to defend the reputation of the hotel."
Previously, Jales St Pierre's lawyer said she had nightmares about the experience.
"Like most victims of bed bugs, Sabrina also had nightmares about the experience, and she still experiences psychological trauma and fear of bed bugs today," Mr Virag told the Desert Sun in June.
"This was especially traumatic for Sabrina because her body is her work, so this severely affected her work and her career."
