Maybe that was the standard "moving meth lab" ESA rate. It includes some extra pots and pans in the kitchen and a heads-up phone call to the room whenever the police pull into the parking the lot.

I actually did spend some time researching that post. I tried looking up the official definitions but didn't have much luck. Here's the online link to the FL Statues:

Given the importance of price gouging laws, the Attorney General of Florida should provide better information on her webpage. We shouldn't have to guess as to whether something like hotels or airfare are covered under the law.

To be paid for at top dollar by taxpayers, private citizens and insurance companies. Keeps the fraternity well off and the law schools full...
Why would it be written clearly?

There are a couple claims on insiders re: gouging in ATL, although not totally clear if it really was.
One references a RI going from $134 on Sunday to $399 on Monday.
Another is in regards to pet fees with muitliple people seeming to report hotels that don't typically allow pets, allowing them during Irma but charging up to $250. Only one with most of the specifics was referencing the SHS Six Flags.
Edit: apparently OP made the same exact post there also. Seems he wasn't necessarily complaining about gouging, but moreso saying they should have actually discounted the rooms for evacuees. Apparently the RC Buckhead did this.
