What to do when you discover bed bugs in your hotel

1. Inspect your hotel room before you move in

Carefully inspect the room where you will be staying for bed bugs. Main things to check are the mattress, springbox, headboard, bed sheets, nightstands and other furniture pieces. Also, look behind picture frames, mirrors, as well as around moldings, trim, and baseboard. If you reveal anything suspicious including bedbugs’ shed skins, eggs, blood stains, and droppings, leave the room immediately.

Also, do not put your luggage on the floor, bed or chairs but rather set it on the luggage racks which are usually available in all hotels. Keep your clothes and other personal items away from bed as far as possible.
