Yikes! We even have those in the coldest parts of Alaska, they are so tough! My mom used to have me check under the covers at the foot of the beds if we stayed in a hotel, so glad I never saw one!!! 🤮
That's good that your mom told you to check because hotel rooms are known for having them... :( Glad you didn't see any, they can leave some real nasty bites. I haven't seen any before either, thankfully.
