Just click on the "more about hotel" shops, above and you will find the names of most of the MSCs that do hotels.

I have never had a problem with bed bugs. I do not do too many hotel shops but when I pay for a hotel it is usally a low star one. But I did read somewhere a few years ago that there are a lot more bed bugs on the east side of the country.
As for the difficulty of the jobs, I have not done fancy hotels so the reports have not been difficult. Walesmaven gave some good advice.
I have been able to get most of it done by spending a little time on the computer after check in, finishing most of the report the next morning and downloading pics from my camera and then I do the check out portion when I arrive at the next night hotel. If they are for the same msc you can try and ask to have the deadline at the end of the several night stay. The thing to stay away from if you are thinking of making it more like a vacation is a hotel with spas, masseuses, restaurants, room service, parking valets and pay lots. Then you are assured not to have to report on all those things. But of course you have to be like me and not care about those amenities to have a vacation. A nice old fashioned motel with a big free parking lot outside, decent rooms and restaurants next door is more my speed. Throw in a free breakfast in the lobby, a fridge and microwave and I am happy.
Sandy,
That is a good working plan. What MSC offer hotel jobs? I want to go to Vegas.
WHY? Are you registered with the PI Board in NV and with a shopping company in NV? Hotel rooms are cheap in Vegas. Besides, they save all of the premium jobs for their regular shoppers or out of town shoppers that they know. Most people don't pull into town and check into the Bellagio on a shop. The big jobs require a lot of experience and an outlaw of $1000's up front.

As a matter of fact, I am in the process of getting it. Gee, Sandy, thanks for your friendly, helpful response. Just the kind of positive reinforcement a girl needs...NOT!

Huh! Somebody's oversensitive.
Sandy, SoCal Mama, and others, I appreciate your honesty and level-headed presentation of the realities of hotel shopping. That's the best part of this forum for me. I can count on getting the straight scoop on all aspects of mystery shopping.
Anybody who needs positive reinforcement instead of real information needs to go their Mama, Daddy, or besty. I appreciate encouragement but blind encouragement is not why I'm here reading the forum.

I like to be informed, just in a respectful tone. Well, my "Mama" and "Daddy" are both dead, so I guess that is a no-go. Obviously, you don't know sarcasm when you read it, huh? Keep reading you'll catch on. Some of us are just a lil' slooooower than others, I understand, Hon.

I am truly sorry your mom and dad are deceased. My sympathies. Hopefully, you do have a besty.
As far as keeping on reading and catching on, you are clearly MUCH slooooower than most. And quick on the trigger - to take offense and bawl out the wrong poster. And snap back at anyone who doesn't agree. No, I don't appreciate your sarcasm, but you seem super slow so maybe it's forgivable. Keep reading and keep trying. I understand, "hon."

Yes - you are both behaving badly over nonsense. Mom is putting you both in Time Out. You are both smart, fun posters with a lot to share with the forum. Take 5 minutes and cool off.
Both of you come back and play nice.
(Mom loves you, that's why she scolds.)
