They ended up moving us to a very nice room, took all of our clothes and put them in some sort of a heating chamber to kill all of the bugs that might have found their way into our luggage, then had all of our clothes laundered, then comped our stay as well as all meals and expenses while we were still there.
They handled the situation fine, but we will not go back there nor would I recommend any of their dining establishments on the property.

I carry a very powerful LED flashlight for exactly this reason, and the first thing I do at any hotel I stay at is rip off the sheets and pull up the mattress to check for bed bugs. It really doesn’t matter how nice the hotel is, any hotel can get them.
