When Booking A Hotel..........?

Question

I want to book a hotel room for my fiance for his birthday. His birthday is on January 2 close to the holidays. Should I book it now to avoid sold out rooms and picked over hotels or should I book it closer to his birthday to possibly get better rates and holiday discounts (if they exist)? Considering holiday travelers should I book it now or wait until later?

Answer 1

It matters what type of hotel.

If its a regular hotel like Holiday Inn

Then they rarely book up. BUT if its a exspensive hotel like the Rennisance (downtown) then Yes you should book no or at least call to see if you should book

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Like the above answerer stated, it really depends on what type of hotel you are staying at on January 2.  If it is a more upscale hotel, I would book it now because those rooms are going to sell out faster than the Holiday Inns and such.  I doubt that you will get any better deals the closer you get to the date because it is the holiday season.  If I was in your position, I would reserve the room now.  Plus, depending on the hotel's cancellation policy, you may be able to cancel the reservation if a better deal does come up and then reserve a room again.
