Our state meet is in two weeks and we don't have a schedule yet! It could be on any of three days and we have to book rooms. Sorry just venting here.

This is what I always do--book the maximum I would need, then cancel what I don't.Last year, we did what wallinbl said - we booked Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights about 6 weeks before state, and then once we knew the day we were competing, we cancelled the nights we did not need. In our case, we got a great session time and the drive was only 2 hours, so we ended up cancelling the entire stay.
This is especially true for the travel websites - Orbitz, Expedia, etc. They're a nuisance if you want to change anything, and sometimes they will have significant change fees.I travel a lot for work--read the fine print because many hotels can trip you up on the cancellation policy and could get charged a night or more. Big resort properties, Hilton properties, any lower pay-ahead rates, bargain rates from some travel sites, certain blackout times in big cities--check carefully when you book. Marriotts (other than the big resort properties) usually have good/liberal cancellation policies.
