No, I haven’t, either. But how good is being clean if you have bedbugs?

Getting clean is much cheaper than getting rid of bedbugs, agreed. But I *have* to be quite presentable and fairly fully-functioning at these meetings; sleeping in the car won't get me there.

Besides, I got some advice years ago: it doesn't look good for the company's image if I go too cheap. I can cut corners, but only where it's not visible. They will pay a LOT for me to stay at fancy hotels, but to be frank once you're in your room none of it matters much and for me the room is where I sleep and maybe unwind a bit; the difference between a high-end hotel and a *clean* Motel 6 is not that much. I've stayed in (German) hotels FAR more spartan than Motel 6 and... they're okay too.

Bedbugs: I've suddenly become a big fan of using those suitcase stands you find in hotel closets, and of making sure that clothing is always kept up & away.

The hotel I booked has no reports filed on it, but I'm being a bit more cautious now.
