What affects the price
Hotel rates shift based on a few main things. Demand is the biggest factor; when more people are traveling to a specific city for conventions, sports, or holidays, prices generally rise. You will also notice differences depending on how close you are to city centers or popular landmarks. Booking your room further in advance often helps keep costs down, while last-minute reservations frequently come with a premium. Amenities like parking, breakfast inclusions, or resort fees also add to the final amount.
