PackLate: Find Cheap Last Minute Accommodation (US Only)

Most travel discount sites are based on one concept: the early bird gets the worm. Discounts are offered far ahead of the actual trip, and last-minute offerings are scarce. If you’re embarking on a last-minute vacation or business trip, but still want to get the best deal possible on a hotel room, PackLate.com was built for you. This site specializes in finding cheap last minute accommodation available now and in the not-so-distant future.

The site focuses almost exclusively on the Western United States, and more specifically on ski/snowboard communities in the Rocky Mountains. Property managers looking to avoid nights without revenue list their rooms here in the hopes of filling them, explaining the discounts.

And while there are discounts, there’s still a lot to be said about planning ahead to save money on things like flights and hotel rooms. So the early bird still gets the best worm, but this site ensures that late birds won’t go hungry.

Features:

  • Find discounts on last-second accommodation.
  • Focused primarily on ski resorts in the Western United States.
  • Monitor specific rooms for discounts.

    Travel packages work that way because the flight component makes the price drop near the departure date, talking in general terms and without guarantee… If you split the flight and the hotel booking as two separate entities you may get the best deals, i.e. book the flight to New York as soon as possible and keep looking for NYC cheap hotel rates till the last minute. In this way the total price should be the lowest possible price.
