A few months ago I woke up with some itchy bites after the first night in a lower-class hotel. I even saw what I thought was a couple of bugs on the bed, took photos and zoomed in. I sent the pictures to my boyfriend who looked it all up and we determined they probably were not bed bugs. In fact, the stuff on the bed was lint I believe. It's just that your mind jumps to things like that since we hear how awful it is. If you no longer have bites and no one in your house has them, it most likely was not bed begs.
