Get organised ahead of time to save on your Orono hotel. You'll also have a broader range of stays and room types to pick from, especially around holidays and school breaks.
Still, be ready to grab any last-minute deals. Some places discount their rates a day or two before arrival to fill empty rooms. This is more likely to happen in off-peak season or on quieter days, though.
Flexible on dates? Consider it your ticket to a lower rate. Play around with your trip timing to discover what deals are up for grabs. Prices are usually cheaper midweek and during low-season months.
Avoid paying extra fees by searching for stays that have free cancellation. If your schedule changes or a better deal pops up, you can cancel without penalty.
