Sleazy hotel

Answer:

FLEABAG

Hint:

Think of a gritty British comedy-drama series named after a run-down place where you might find more than just bedbugs.

Explanation:

"Sleazy hotel" hints at a run-down, bug-infested place, which directly points to "flea" (the pest) combined with "bag" (slang for a cheap or shabby establishment). The answer also plays on Fleabag, the sharp British comedy about a chaotic woman running a struggling café—though here, the clue leans more on the literal grimy meaning than the show. The word "sleazy" ties it all together, suggesting both the insect and the seedy vibe.
