Everybody should do a bed bug check before they settle into any hotel room or rental home. I travel for work roughly every other week and the very first thing I do in any hotel room is take apart the bed to look for evidence of bed bugs. It takes like 2 minutes to do.
My company's office once had an infestation because some travelers had carried them into the office from their hotel room.
Also, bed bugs aren't "dirty" but instead they're bloodsuckers, like mosquitos. They aren't attracted to dirt, they're attracted to humans.
