agreed that it was indeed a bed bug as they have both researched bed bugs on the internet just in case this should ever happen.

We presented the cup with the bed bug to the front desk and the lady was very nonchalant / indifferent to our finding. She said the hotel was sold out (not that we would have stayed) and she could not assist us in finding another hotel as it was very late in the evening.

This experience has taught us to ALWAYS check the bug registry and trip advisor before booking a hotel and check the beds once you enter the room.
