I checked the bed for bed bugs, but didn't see anything (not that I've ever seen a bed bug, so I'm not really sure what to look for). For full disclosure, I spent very little time outside those couple of days, and had on pants and socks so I know they really couldn't be mosquito bites...and they didn't feel quite like mosquito bites usually feel.

I didn't feel like accusing the hotel of having bedbugs when I don't have any proof other than suspicion, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if I should say something. Any advice? Thanks!
Others may offer more practical advice, but I'll simply warn you that if you write you might get a bedbug letter in return.

Cheers,
Fredd
