Absolutely definitely. We had a bedbug issue this summer after a stay in NYC. Found them in the bed, changed rooms to a clean one, but brought them home with us. Had to have the house fumigated twice, and had to wash every single article of clothing in the house twice in hot water, after each fumigation. NOT a pleasant experience whatsoever. Bedbug bites make mosquito bites seem like a tickle.

Just a greater NY area issue? (I can't see the link on my BB)
Can bed bugs spread diseases like mosquitos do? Maybe we start our own registry, a PelicanTripAdvisor? That's nasty! Just sayin

From their "FAQ" section:
How can you be sure these reports are true? We can't - this is the internet! All our bedbug reports are submitted through the site, and have not been vetted for accuracy. We do our best to flag posts that have been disputed, but we remind our readers to take things with a grain of salt.

Pull the sheets up. Look for little black dots in the corners of the mattress. I check EVERY room, no matter how nice the hotel.

I did an Indoor Air Quality Study for the Jay Leno (Tonight Show) once, Jay and staff were complaining about respiratory problems. The air and wipe samples I took showed all kinds of human dander, and allergens. They'd not shampooed the audience seats ever, as in not since Johnny Carson was the host. I had them shampoo everything, steam clean everything. The results were almost a 100% reduction in issues. If you think about it, people visiting LA who are going to see Jay are going whether they're hacking up a lung or not. Also, people visiting the show are from around the World, and having widely varying senses of personal hygiene.
