Three ways you can tell if a hotel has bedbugs

You crawl into the neatly made bed after a long day of travel and/or sight-seeing, and just as you drift off to sleep, you feel a sharp pain on your arm. You swat off whatever bug that might be, a mosquito maybe, only to feel more bites on your limbs. You turn around, put on the light, and inspect your bedding, only to see nothing. You go back to sleep only to feel as if you have a million bugs on your skin. You, my friend, have been attacked by bedbugs.

Ask around and you will hear of the great nuisance that is the bedbug. The parasite unselectively invades people’s bedrooms, high-end hotels and run down lodges.  Woe unto the hotel’s management and reputation when a guest sees it before hotel staff do! A simple review, and these are quite easy to do in the digital age, will not only ruin the hotel’s name but can take a toll on its budget and revenue.
