Counterpoint from someone that has worked at a few hotels. That’s a place handling the issue, many will ignore it. Some will spray down the single room reported and not search elsewhere.
I was a hotel general manager for 7 years and that is not how bed bug mattresses are disposed of. Typically they would be fully wrapped in plastic and taped up to prevent the spread of bugs as the mattresses were being removed from the property. More likely they placed a bulk order to replace some mattresses/box springs that were due for replacement- there are timelines for how often mattresses have to be replaced and they are typically done 10-20 at a time

Or they are doing something about their bedbug infestation. The number of motels with bed bugs that take no action is disgusting.
