I'm not sure how you interpreted Slava's post to say that? I believe he was only suggesting that any such accounting (which is a perfectly reasonable expectation) take into account things such as the following:

Some innkeepers will be charging Ritz rates for Fawlty Towers rooms — and they will get away with it.
A limited hotel supply and unprecedented demand from almost a million tourists, media and businesspeople tied to the London Games means that accommodation in the British capital — never a bargain to start with — is more expensive than ever this summer.
That guarantees a bumper year for London's hotel and rental sectors, but a nightmare for those who have been dragging their feet on making sleeping arrangements.
Already, many central London hotels are fully booked from mid-July to mid-August, and those that still have rooms available now charge anything from double to four times more than their normal rates.
