Some decent advice right here. In many years of regular hotel stays, I have had exactly two encounters with them. There was no issue with cross-infestation. They don't travel that easily, as you say.
What gets me is that prevention is so easy-peasy, in theory:
Done. And yet hotels still have these monstrous sprung mattresses, which accumulate dust and mites and are basically black boxes for infestation of all kinds. Usually protected by a single layer of dirty synthetic fiber. Yuck.
The whole carpet thing also annoys the fuck out of me.
I mean, it was fashionable once upon a time.
But now? It stains easily, harbours bugs and mites, and is ridiculously labour intensive to clean. Tile, high quality vinyl or laminate please.
