I think before rushing to assume "the captain" should have stepped up and solved this accomodation problem it's worth establishing if there was one even involved in this situation...some airlines have crew on different itinaries...
As for the financial angle - A question - How good at FR at reimbursing staff for money spent on non-pre approved ad hoc expenses?
Agree with the comments about the images, it doesn't matter what was staged or not, it does seem the crew were left without "suitable accommodaton".
