Examine the sheets before getting into bed!

That's to find the bugs, get upgraded to the biggest suite, get the stay comped and get a bunch of points.
And a bottle of champagne, if kosher...

supposedly you have to check around the top of the mattress under the lining of the ring that goes around the top     if you see black stuff... find another room.    if you google it you could get pretty good info on how to check for them.    they also say not to put your suitcase on the floor, put it on a table or something.

Bring your own bugs, and get triple refund + upgrade to presidential.
