answer:I never use the comforter. American hotels and motels do not wash those things. I throw that filthy giant rag under the sink, far from the bed. I then inspect the top blanket with a light. Usually bugs are startled by light and will jump or scurry. I then inspect every inch of the white sheet, and the mattress sheet underneath. If one single bug is found, that represents 500 bugs not seen. So I will refuse the bed if I see one single bug. I’ve stayed in some pretty dank and cruddy places… I’ve stayed in every blue light cheap motel…. the kind with holes in the walls, ripped blankets, leaky showers, thugs in the parking lot, and all that…. but so far I’ve never found bugs. That would be unacceptable. Hotels & motels should start getting plastic or wooden floors, no more comforters, and all-white blankets and sheets that are bleached weekly.
