How we work this out
Every hotel here is priced once a week for the same stay — one refundable night, two adults — on dates spread across the next twelve months. Holding the room and the party the same is what makes a change in the answer mean something; how far ahead each date sits is the one thing we vary on purpose, because that is the question this page answers — which month to go, not how early to book. Every figure is a one-night stay as quoted, never a longer total divided down. The longer version.
