An old hotel that I leased (30 + years ago) had bed bugs in one room. They were brought in via a customer's dog. Bed bugs hide in crevasses usually high up above the bed and drop down at night. They are small and flat but when they suck blood, they bloat. Getting pest control in will not cure the problem.
The beds and furniture had to be disposed of and the room completely refurbished.
Do not stay in hotels that allow dogs.

Yep, done that, had the rashes and bought the t-shirt. Wasn't travelodge though; Amsterdam's plenty cheapness lodgings must be among the worst in Europe.Originally posted by zeitghost View PostNot.

The very thought of this sort of thing is why I stopped contracting away from home.
