It depends on the trip. A traditional hotel can work well when you'll spend most of the day exploring, while a resort can make sense when pools, waterparks and on-site recreation are a major part of the vacation.

Popular summer weekends, major events, fall weekends and holiday periods can create higher demand. Checking accommodations once your dates are known usually gives you more options.
