The best booking windows and the days when hotel prices tend to dip.
Hotel prices can change based on how close you book to your stay. Booking a few weeks to a couple of months in advance is often the sweet spot, while booking too early or too late can mean paying more.
Weekday stays and off-peak seasons usually cost less than weekends and holidays. If your dates are flexible, shifting your stay by a day or two can unlock noticeably cheaper rates.
Set price alerts and compare a few booking sites before committing. The same room can vary in price across platforms, so a little comparison can go a long way.
