Reading this last post, I start to think maybe travelers should get the manager of the hotel or motel to come look at a room before signing out. The idea that a charge could show up for some alleged "damage" after you get home is kind of disturbing. How could you prove the hotel is wrong? Its like when they advise you to carefully inspect a rental apartment and show the caretaker any damage there before you rent, so that it isn't used to justify keeping your damage deposit at the end. Ideally, you wouldn't want ever to rent from a company like that, but when you are moving in, you really don't know how trustworthy the management is.
