Well, it'd be rare that your individual double/triple-booked room would ever cause the other guy to actually pay more. If someone were doing this large-scale - like a corporate event planner booking 100 rooms in each of three smallish hotels while he/she hashed out the catering details - then yeah, I'd say that's an issue...
