Waiting until the last minute

[mreg376]

I'm new to Hotwire/Priceline. I'm looking to book hotels for a couple of weeknights in Baltimore in August and one weeknight in Philadelphia around the same time. Is it generally better to book early, or to wait until just before the trip? Since these are supposedly slots that the hotels use Hotwire and Priceline to fill, are the hotels more willing to take a lower price as the date approaches?

Thanks.

There is no way to know for sure; prices are going to vary by date, city, conventions and other factors. Please read the "When Should I Book?" Section in the FAQ.
