I don't travel much, but I bet there has to be a way to find out if a room has bedbugs in about 30 seconds. I'll be Googling that before I stay in another motel room, for sure.
As far as getting bitten by bugs though, I understand that bedbugs are about as clean as they come, as they don't carry diseases we can catch.
I don't mind playing host body to bacteria (once read over half the cells in and on our bodies are not our own) but anything that crawl about on legs creeps me right out.
