Still, be ready to grab any last-minute offers. Some places drop their rates a day or two before arrival to avoid having empty rooms. It's more likely this will happen in low season or on quieter days, though.
The more flexible your dates, the better your savings. Move your travel timing around to discover what deals are up for grabs. Prices are typically cheaper midweek and during less popular months.
