If there are insects in the hotel room, they may infiltrate your luggage. Meanwhile, the bathroom is usually free of bedbugs and provides a safer place to store your suitcase. A simple way to protect your luggage is to wrap it in a plastic bag, which prevents it from getting wet and keeps dust from falling onto the floor.

After that, be sure to check the room thoroughly for any signs of insects. Inspect every corner, including the seams of the mattress, drawers, cracks in the bed frame, and headboard. If you find any signs of pests, such as blood, droppings, or eggs, report it to the housekeeping staff immediately for prompt action.
