    Weird. I drove cross country for months, staying at various motels and never had an issue with bedbugs.

    Are you outside of the US?

        All I can say then is that your experiences are unique to me.

        I don’t know anyone who had issues as bad as you did.

          I’ve seen some sketchy motels in my time, which is why I stopped staying in them. Hotels, especially major chains tend to be decent to great quality, and are usually cost competitive with AirBnB according to several news stories and lemmy threads over the last 10 months or so. And they have less weird requirements about you doing bed stripping / cleaning before you leave.

            The problem is that hotels are usually at least twice the price of motels.

            And they have less weird requirements about you doing bed stripping / cleaning before you leave.

            This is a big reason why airbnbs can go fuck off.
