People who booked non-cancellable or non-refundable hotel rooms are screwed somewhat, but I would think that doesn't apply to a lot of people - Tons of hotel rooms in the area were still available, waaayyy more than usual and that probably translates to lower prices for the people who did book hotel rooms too.
