That's a complete 180 IMO.
Great idea! The hotel in question is
Hyatt Regency Austin. They're currently gaming the system for the upcoming Austin City Limits (first two weekends in October), but I've since learned they apparently have run this scam for awhile on other high-demand weekends, such as SXSW.
