Check any hotel you stay in. Look under the mattress and in crevasses and seams. And don’t put your suitcase on the bed. Use the luggage stand or a desk.
And even if you check carefully, put your clothes straight from the suitcase and into the dryer and run for 60 minutes on high. The heat will kill bedbugs. If you can, also heat the suitcase or keep it sealed in plastic.
Also, protect your stuff. Put your mattress in a zippered encasement.
Check the straps of those portable luggage stands first those. They are a favorite location of bed bugs since the don’t often get treated. Unroll the straps a little bit to check underneath them next to the tubes.

My suitcases always stay in the shower or bath tray and I sleep naked. Fuck that risk.
Why would you put things straight into the dryer without washing them first? Wouldn’t washing the clothes also help kill bugs?
You need 122F+ for several minutes to kill bed bugs. So maybe with hot water. But just washing may not do it if the water isn’t hot enough.
