With the current epidemic of bedbugs prevailing in this country, what steps are the hotels taking to ensure that they are bedbug-free (and remain bedbug-free)? And what are the hotels doing when guests report such instances? What compensation are they providing to their guests who may not have discovered the problem with bedbugs until they returned home? Do the hotels use bedbug-sniffing dogs to find any bedbugs and then take the necessary steps to eradicate them? Along the same lines, how often do hotels changes the mattresses? Are there laws governing the frequency of changing the mattresses? I would think if the mattress was bedbug infested, it would be changed, but I am also interested in the "normal" frequency of change. And with the high number of hotel rooms, what happens to the mattresses once they are removed, since the number of mattresses is significant in each hotel.
