[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lift up the mattress and look for little specks of blood. Use a flashlight at night. [/quote]
I do this with a blacklight at hotels these days. 
Didn't used to have to worry about bed bugs in the USA but in recent years it's a thing in all hotels, even 5 star ones, so I always ask to see the room before paying, and check it out. [/quote]

They let you check the mattress before paying? That’s impressive. Can you offer a script of what you say? I can’t imagine getting permission to do this, what language unlocks that? [/quote]
You need a script?? 
Ok, well I'm no playwriter but I just say something along the lines of:
"Hi, I'm _______ and checking in. Do you have (insert type of room you desire) available?" 
or if you booked in advance "I reserved a (type of room). May I have the key to check it out before signing in?"
I learned decades ago to always check the room before paying. Have been a few times the room was trashed, or still dirty, or a plumbing fixture or TV didn't work. It's not unusual at all to ask to "see a room first".[/quote]

It is unusual to ask. We all understand the why. It’s not a common practice. [/quote]

What is "common" for you may not be common for others. If you have been around the service industry or hotel biz, you'd know.

If you feel like you are being rude to ask to view a room, consider why you would feel that way. Do you commonly pay for things sight unseen, or ask to view them for paying? [/quote]
