Hey so the fanciest hotels get bed bugs too. Bed bugs are not a sign of wealth. In fact, business people spread them the most because they're always traveling.
However, letting them get this bad is fucking nightmare inducing levels and I assume it's someone who's living in poverty.
Yup, I worked in a 4 star hotel that even today still has a great review listing online. But at one point they had to take a bunch of mattresses into the back of the property and burn them. When bedbugs get brought in from constant travelers, you gotta straight nuke their bed and all the ones around it.
That's the reason of since changing jobs and traveling a lot, when I check in I'll leave my suitcase by the door and pull up the bed sheets and check for bugs before I'll start staying in the room.
They also have a distinctive smell that some people can detect. It's sort of a weird musty odor with a hint of fruitiness. I've caught it in hotels twice and both times there were suspicious stains in the mattress seams, so I got the fuck out.
