Where can I book rooms from others' cancellations?
score:5
You bring up a good point. Cancellation penalties are so different by property that its hard to really get a cancellation system going that would then allow you to fill rooms at the last minute. With that said though, there are sites like laterooms.com and lastminutetravel.com that you could check.
In my travels, I've found that there is always a room available in any given city, its just that you may pay quite a bit for it :-).
The major hotel booking Web sites usually pull from the same global distribution system, but some of them may have a special deal with specific properties and hence while one site will show sold out another may not. So this means you should try them all.
Also, if you know where you want to stay, contact them by phone or e-mail as not all their rooms may be available online. Plus, not all accommodations can be booked online.
I'm an odd traveler as I'll go to a totally unknown destination without a hotel room reservation. After 107 countries traveled, only once I've had to pay $200/night for a room and that was in Amsterdam after walking around for 3 hours and could not find something that was cheaper and that I liked. I was tired and wet from the rain, so I caved.
I hope this helps.
