2. Do not despair if you can not book a room in advance
Booking in advance is a good way to save money, but don't despair if your plans change and you need to book a room at the last minute. Use apps Hotel Tonight and Booking.com. In addition, you can even book a hotel for today. These offers often offer steep discounts at expensive hotels.

Always find out what's included to avoid any unwanted surprises.9. Call the hotelWhile it's tempting to book a room online, it's worth calling the hotel itself and letting them know you'll be booking through Hotels.com and asking if they can offer you a discount.
