2. Re: Bedbugs

Bedbugs are becoming a problem everywhere. Just because a hotel or any other type of accommodation has had them in the past doesn't mean they still do, and just because they didn't have them one month, one week, or even one day ago does not mean they are clear of them today. Further, there have been reports of bedbugs on transit, in stores, office buildings, and movie theatres .... any place warm where people and their belongings are. Clearly they are not a problem that is going to go away anytime soon.

Google yourself some information on detection, and protect yourself, not only from staying in an infested accommodation, but perhaps more importantly, from taking them home with you.

For instance, besides checking over the hotel room bed and environs for signs of bedbugs, never, ever put your suitcase on the bed - use the suitcase rack (pulled away from the wall). When you get home, don't take your suitcase up to your bedroom to unpack. If it is cold (below freezing) when you get home, you can upack any liquids and leave your suitcase outside (in the car or out in the garage) overnight.

There are lots of informative pages online - look for the ones published by universities, cities, or public health departments, for authoritative information.
