Travel Deal of the Day (May 25, 2010)

If you have a hotel booked for Memorial Day weekend and you are still outside of the cancellation policy, you should check to see if rates have dropped at that hotel or other alternative hotels. It is quite common to see prices drop dramatically just before a holiday weekend if rooms have gone unsold. This is especially true because of the economic conditions this year. If you are traveling to the coastal areas of Florida/Louisiana/neighboring states, you will want to be especially aware of this advice as prices may have dropped dramatically given how many people are avoiding these areas due to fears regarding the oil spill. Prices may have been much higher months ago, but now that hotels with unsold rooms realize that they have numerous unsold rooms, prices may have dropped dramatically.
