What affects the price

Hotel rates change based on a few main things. Location is usually the biggest factor; staying right downtown or near a major stadium costs more than staying in the suburbs. Demand is the other key driver. If a city is hosting a big convention, a holiday parade, or a concert, rooms fill up fast and prices spike. Mid-week stays are often cheaper than weekends, too. We have exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
