Save on your Cape May hotel and get the room type you actually want when you book early. You'll also have more time to compare and choose the perfect place.
Still, be ready to jump on any last-minute offers. Some places discount their rates shortly before check-in to fill empty beds. It's more likely this will happen during low season or on quieter days, though.
