The hotels WANTED to charge an arm and a leg for a room, and there were even stories of tenants being evicted so that the landlord could make a fortune renting out the property for the Olympics. As it has turned out things haven't been quite as busy as they hoped and hotel rooms, although not very cheap, are certainly doing a lot of offers. **** hotels are available for next Monday night from £150.
