What type of lodging do you typically choose for overnight stays? Do you plan and reserve in advance, or just pull in wherever you happen to be and hope to find something?
Hotels/Motels have become SO expensive.

Almost always book in advance with cancellable reservations. We have had that no vacancy situation before and it’s just not worth it. I will book a hotel with cancellable day of or day before reservations so if we change our minds we are not locked in.

I use a lot of points from our Chase Sapphire credit card for travel (either plane tickets or hotels or both). We use that card for everything and build up points. Got us two plane tickets to Ireland last fall and a free hotel room in the spring.

For our upcoming trip to Philly we are splitting an AirBnB with friends. Booked it months ago.
