"Dark patterns" are one thing.

They tell me that they booked 14 rooms at the Red Roof Inn in Appleton WI for Wed September 19, 2018, in the last 24 hours.

I'd love to call the Red Roof Inn and ask them if that's the case.

Other than that, that sounds like outright deceptive practices, fraud in marketing.

Technically, they may have booked 14 rooms in 24 hours. Of course, there's no way all of those bookings were for Sept. 19th. It is deceptive but probably follows the letter, but not the spirit, of any applicable laws.
