I suspect at the end of the day, people won't pay $681 for an HIX. Prices will eventually fall back to near-normal. There are a few thousand miles along which to watch the eclipse and plenty of cities you could pick to spend the night before and/or after.
Interestingly the price increases for at least a couple of Nashville Marriotts I checked but only for Monday. I would have thought that it'd go up both days or something.
In any case, I reserved in Nashville for now. I can cancel and reserve elsewhere if something else firms up. ^
