Sunday–Thursday rates can be 30–50% less than weekends at the same property.
Check cancellation policies
Many hotels offer free cancellation up to 48–72 hours in advance — lock in your rate risk-free.
Look for packages
Hotels often bundle parking, beach gear, or dining credits into vacation packages that save 15–20%.
