Hotels are definitely price gouging. Aside from not being able to book a hotel due to unavailability, the prices were 2-3X more than what is “normal”.

It should be ok, because it is a free market. These same people cry when the shelves are empty because the stores weren't allowed to raise prices to prevent people from hoarding. Then they will cry we need limits on what people can buy because they don't want the free market to do it's thing.
