Just MHO, and worth what you paid for it.

I agree but I am sure there are still places like that.
I've driven by some real shitty looking motels while just traveling through DFW.
Of course I wouldn't stay at any of them.
Not just because of the possible dangers but also because I don't want to bring home any bed bugs.
You bring home bed bugs in your clothing or luggage, that's it.
You are fucked. Your whole house and everything in it has to be nuked.
Hence why when you are staying in nice 4-5 stars hotels, the experts recommend to not leave your luggage open, to put your luggage on hard flooring - best place is the floor in the bathroom, and keep it away from bedding and carpet.
Better yet, the closets in hotels have the metal rack on top, put the luggage on there or put it on the desk.
Also any clothing dirty or clean, hang it up on hangers in the closets, don't let them touch bedding and carpet, same for shoes after you take them off, go in the closet on the top rack.
Of course you want to check the bedding and mattresses for sign of bed bugs activities and that involves pulling up all the sheets and foam thing and flip the mattress over as soon as you walk into the room.
