I agree with what was said before. It is almost imposible to get scabies from a hotel in the first place but 100% impossible to wake up with them the next day. If it was the first time having scabies, it takes weeks for them to manifest. Even If you have had scabbies before, it would still take 3-4 days for you to show symptoms. Not to be crass but the hotel owner probably wouldn't be rude enough to inform you, and your doctor neglected to, the most common method of transmital is sexual in nature.
They are widley considered an STD. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have a bigger issue at hand than the scabbies. Sure hope your husband doesn't read this. Same way I hope potential guest of this establishment didn't read this before ther were replys by people with common sense.

It appears the place was responsible in calling an exterminator who told them that scabies is transmitted by personal contact.
I feel sorry for you, scabies is a miserable condition. However, you did not get it from this establishment.
It's the old thing 'Correlation does not necessarily indicate causation'.

Scabies take much longer than 24 hours to manifest. There's no way you got them from the hotel and showed symptoms the next day. It simply isn't possible:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scabies
" The disease may be transmitted from objects but is most often transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact, with a higher risk with prolonged contact. Initial infections require four to six weeks to become symptomatic."
You came in contact with the scabies long before this hotel trip.
also:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/scabies/DS00451/DSECTION=causes
" The eight-legged mite that causes scabies in humans is microscopic. The female mite burrows just beneath your skin and produces a tunnel in which it deposits eggs. The eggs mature in 21 days, and the new mites work their way to the surface of your skin, where they mature and can spread to other areas of your skin or to the skin of other people. The itching of scabies results from your body's allergic reaction to the mites, their eggs and their waste. "
