News flash. High-demand hotels, in a strong economy, have gone up in price. Sure it sucks, and thanks for letting us know. No need for all of the outrage and claims of bait and switch.
No, it's not a requirement. Obviously the OP and everyone else knows that. No need to be snide.

Imagine, though, that you went to the grocery store and the price of your favorite cereal jumped 20 percent overnight. Pretty annoying, right? I think it's perfectly natural and reasonable to complain about this.
