Who knows? They switched rooms multiple times and yet mine didn't have any, so maybe *I'm* special. Luck of the draw I guess.

I'll admit to seeing my share of FA drama, but remember, they have a weaker union, no real hotel language to speak of, and generally get bullied into bad situations / ignored by the company.

So it's possible that they stay at worse hotels than us and have Bedbug issues. It's possible, like someone said a few posts up, that they are carrying the bugs around with them from hotel to hotel.

The hotel itself was nice, in its own little bubble. Friendly staff, prompt van service, nice room (disregarding the bedbugs of course.)

However, there's NOTHING around except a gas station, no sidewalks, just dirt, and the rooms have the smell of 3rd world plumbing. The stench that comes out once hot water starts going down the shower drain... But I guess that's what you get in places like that. I've done my share of Mexico overnights.
