The familiar-sounding phrase “Book early for your fall vacation” has plenty of validity, but that will only get you half-way there.
Yes, it’s true that booking early for the New England fall foliage season is important as, by August, many of the higher quality hotels across New England start to fill up quickly. But starting and ending one’s hotel trip planning there by only reserving a room early could be a costly mistake.
What is equally important: making sure you find a room at the lowest rate. That might sound obvious, but the reality is that it gets overlooked — even if you think you’re getting a good deal.
