Despite my worry about prices during the Olympics, there were actually a ton of options. And when I was doing research, I read that similar thing happened in London as well for the Olympics there. And I think there's a window where it's far enough out that no one knows how crowded it's gonna be and prices are really expensive.

But actually as you get closer, they seem to come down a bit. So first off, if you're ever booking some big event, I'd encourage everyone to make a refundable reservation early so you have it just in case things are expensive. And so we looked at a lot of things.

This is where the hotel search tools also really, really shine, 'cause we knew exactly where we wanted to go.
