We like B&Bs and that strategy probably doesn’t work for those.

My experiences has been mostly positive. In fact, until a few years ago, I never booked ahead, and got along mostly fine. Had some expensive hotels during some summer roadtrips through mountain tourist hotspots, so I started booking, but especially during the offseason, no problems to speak of.
