Galway Race Week Hotel Prices

During last year's ash cloud I saw supply and demand in action.
The hotel prices steady rose throughout the evening as supply dwindled and more people came in looking for last minute accommodation.

Capitalism as it should be.
 
There are some B&b's on the dublin road where the old corrib hotel used to be and also try the salthill area, not as busy
 
Just an update - rang a hotel 2 days ago & got a double room with breakfast for 120Eu cheaper than previously quoted & than hotels.com etc. So we're off for Friday & Sat nights!
 
At a certain hotel, during race week I was told the room price was 120 punts (long time ago now). So I declined saying the limit for an overnight stay with company at that time was less than that. I proceeded to get back into my car and was about to pull off when the manager came out and offered me a room for 60quid (which was the normal room rate). So I accepted it. grand stay and have returned on a few occasions.
