Pro tip: I booked a hotel in Lisbon for 4 nights but only paid for 3

I found a flight deal that got me there a day early, so I just showed up at the hotel and asked if they had a room. They gave me a 30% discount for the extra night because it was last minute and they had space. I learned that asking directly at the desk can beat online prices when they want to fill a room. Has anyone else tried this in other cities like Barcelona or Prague?

Charlie's got a point, but the real gamble is having to sleep in the airport if it goes wrong. That's a hard pass from me.

Honestly, is saving 30% on one hotel night worth the risk? You could show up and they're fully booked.
