Travel plans can pop up from absolutely nowhere, and there is no reason to believe that you don't have enough time to make your trip. Many people are under the misconception that the supply and demand mechanism only serves to shoot prices skyward. This is only partially true; you can get unbelievable deals at rock-bottom prices even when you plan late or go for last minute hotel bookings.

One thing is for sure: if you're planning a trip really late, you should check for all the available last minute hotel bookings at your destination. Most large hospitality chains don't have available accommodations until you go to them for a last minute hotel booking. In fact, rooms that are booked later come out much cheaper than a typical room; the hotels would rather let a room at lower prices than not let it at all.

If you want a last moment hotel booking, be sure to search everywhere. The internet can serve that purpose very well. Many travel agents and last minute hotel booking dealers will actually give you fabulous offers that you couldn't find offline.
