I've had bedbugs (bought a headboard from a hotel liquidator place), and they do not leave a mark like this. They leave three in a row: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And they're also small. That's why people don't know for a while when they have bedbugs because they think it's a rash or allergy or something. And it's almost always on your legs and arms.
Also, in the daytime they do not move around like that; they are nocturnal, in fact, they can sense when you've fallen asleep and then their proboscis has anesthesia which keeps you from feeling them bite.
In an upscale hotel like that, there is no way hundreds of bedbugs were found. Maybe a few if the previous guest had them.
So she got hundreds of bites, but her husband wasn't bitten at all?
I know a family that brought back bed bugs from a hotel near Disneyland and the husband and kids all got bite but the wife didn't. Some people seem to be immune to them. They family had to spend $2500 for an exterminator to come and bring a bunch of high powered heaters in the house and get the temperature up to like 170 degrees for 2 days to kill them all.
I had one bed bug bite and it looked similar. Not as severe but if my allergies kicked up, it would. Bed bugs bites (to me and my infant son) looked very similar.
How they could get this bad without someone reporting it is hard to understand. I spent 2 months in a room heavily infested with bed bugs. We moved the most infested items in a closet and both my and my infant son only got one bite each.
Still...its possible this happened to her.
But it could have also been she was allergic to something like sand fleas and they attacked her on the beach and she woke up like this.

Definitely looks painful though whatever it is.
Nope, even high end hotels do have heavy infestations at times.

you are quite wrong here.
those most certainly are bed bug bites. this woman had an averse allergic reaction to them, which is why they are so big.
and for all you arguing that bed bugs wouldn't bite just one person and not the other, this also wrong.
bed bugs bite based on blood type and blood temperature.
hot blooded individuals are easier for the bed bugs to smell and feed off of.
and it is also true that a person who is not allergic to bed bug bites might not even notice being bit.
bed bugs are very fast and very smart. most times they will actually hide inside underside of the box spring and or floorboards in the corner of a closet.
the only come out late at night 3am-6am and they are lured by the output of your bodies carbon dioxide.
all it takes is one male and one female and you can have hundreds of them in a few weeks. they are really a horror, and DDT should be legalized again so that they can be eradicated from the US.

Oh, they don't have any timetable as to when they come out I don' believe. When I had them, all it took was just sitting or laying down on the bed for a bit, any time of day, and they came out popping wheelies across the sheets trying to get at me. Grrrrr, hate is a strong term, but I HATE bedbugs. I've never dealt with a nastier pest. There is no form of death that could be inflicted I would hesitate to use on them. The place I lived in for a short time that was invaded I would have happily just torched. Without the bed bug problem.
I have seen a case where the person that was being bit rashed up horribly. The bite site welted up like giant hives and the itching and burning was pretty bad too. He wound up at the doctor who suggested he inspect his sleeping quarters and look for environmental causes. He didn't specify bed bugs but that's what it turned out to be. When there's a lot of the little vermin they can leave pretty obvious messes where they congregate. Tarry looking stains from their defacation. They are tough to get rid of, and I'm with you on DDT. Diazonon was another good one that's been taken away.
