Frugal - you are wrong. Experts advise placing suitcases away from the hotel walls & carpet edges as well as the beds. I have that first hand by an expert in infestation with a PhD in entomology. Don't blame the victim. Also, when you get in the room, look between the top & bottom mattresses.

The idea that you got bed bugs at your own house from putting your suitcase on the floor in a hotel is ludicrous and not even scientifically sound. If there were bedbugs in that room, they would have gotten you while you were sleeping, not days later. Come on! There's no shame in accidentally getting bed bugs in your house, brother; it's called an epidemic for a reason.

I stayed here May 11th and left my suitcase on the floor. About two weeks after I returned home, I noticed bites on my skin and tell-tale signs of bedbugs on my sheets.
