However, last-minute deals aren't out of the question. Although prices generally increase closer to your stay, some places drop rates a day or two before to avoid having empty rooms, especially during low season.
Stay flexible with your dates, land better rates. Search for hotels in different months or seasons. Even going during the week (instead of weekends) can lead to bigger savings.
