When checking into your hotel room for the first time don't put your luggage or clothing or anything else including yourself on the furniture or mattress until you inspect the mattress and sheets for bed bugs.
However if there' a rack in the hotel room you can place your luggage and anything else on it instead as bed bugs will not be on the racks or sinks.
Next inspect the bed and under the sheets and mattress for bed bugs and if you notice any bed bugs contact the front desk and hotel staff immediately.
The hotel staff is required to keep the hotel rooms clean and sanitary including getting rid of bed bugs.
The hotel staff should either refund your money or move you to another hotel room if one is available.
Here's a picture of bed bugs so you know what to look out for.
