You should DEFINITELY start checking your bed... check under the matress and check the folds of the matress at the corners, pull the top sheet back, move the pillows, etc. I do this before my bags are moved out of the entryway of the room.
Side note, interesting the items you find under the matress. I've found dozens of shytty porn mags over the years and quite a few dildos.
I've been attacked by bedbugs after a friends white trash GF moved her stuff into his apartment. Worst insect experience EVER. If I ever accidentally take bedbugs into my home, i'll move and leave every single things behind... they are THAT bad.
I know that prudent hotels employ a service that bings a beagle doggy around to sniff for bedbugs.
