4. Bedbugs
If there are no visible stains on them, hotel bedspreads aren’t cleaned. In the premiere hotels, blankets are washed once a week. Yes, sheets are cleaned daily—but this is not a good enough defense against bed bugs. Might sound like a public service announcement, but these itchy little things deserve all the fanfare they get. They tend to cling to guests and stowaway in luggages, and when carriers stay in a room, you’re doomed. The increase of instances of bedbugs in hotel rooms is on the rise (even in luxury properties) and prevention is a bit of a challenge for hoteliers where people from all over the world are checking in and out every day.
