Along with last minute flights, last minute hotels are big business nowadays. The theory is that you get a place that would normally be empty (usually because of cancellations), and in return you obtain a high discount. But, as ever, its a case of buyer beware.
It could be a quite typical experience to reach in a hotel and find that theres actually no-one in it who didnt seriously a last-minute travel deal. This is both because the costs the hotel is attempting to charge typical customers are too high, or because its an awful hotel. To avoid these places, always check whether the hotel you find a last-minute deal on is otherwise fully-booked or at the least busy if maybe not, you should probably stay away.
Even yet in great hotels, though, you may find yourself stuck with the one bad place that they havent been able to move the one that smells funny, or features a view of a solid brick wall outside the window. While this isnt generally so terrible, you need to at the very least prepare yourself for this possibility.
Its also ready though maybe not inevitable that the cheaper hotels will be nowhere near the town center, leaving you to commute by public transport every day if you desire to see the places, otherwise hold off in the suburbs. You should consider the costs of transport before you book, as a somewhat more expensive hotel that's more central could save you more than it costs.
A final thing to be aware of is that one may often get a good discount by booking an eleventh hour flight and hotel as a bundle through the various company web sites. If you're carrying this out, however, make sure that you dont let the savings pressure you in to having a bad flight or perhaps a bad hotel because one other half of the deal looks so good.
