The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to find a lower rate on a Boston hotel and have a wider range of choice when you plan ahead.
That being said, booking at the last minute can end up being a good move. Some places lower their rates a day or two before arrival to fill rooms that would otherwise stay empty.
Be flexible with your dates, land better rates. Search for hotels across different months or seasons. Even booking during the week (instead of weekends) can lead to bigger savings.
Find accommodation options with free cancellation and take the stress out of booking. You can amend or cancel your stay without penalty if things change or you spot a better deal.
