Hotwire Hotel: Better to wait? 10/16-10/19

[ericaseiler]

Looking to travel to NYC Oct 16-19. Am finding rates pretty high (looking basically Midtown Central or Midtown East). I know it is a more expensive time to travel there but I was wondering if you think I'd be better off waiting to book until it gets closer?

 

Thank you!!

Please read this link: Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date

 

What is your preferred star rating and your max budget/night before tax/fee's?

If this year follows tradition, I would say it's better to book a "good" deal now rather than risk not finding any deals later. Understandably, people want to try and wait out the possibility that prices will fall, but they can certainly go the other way and do so suddenly.

 

Again, there's no way to know for sure - this year may be entirely different - but going on previous years I would say if you see a good deal I'd take it. I wouldn't wait until last minute.
