Caleigh, I would be really worried about 1) getting an affordable rate and 2) finding an available room by waiting until next month. I believe if you have a credit card OR a debit with the visa/mc symbol on it you can use that to reserve your room and they shouldn't charge you anything until you get to the hotel and authorize the actual charges. Make sure you call the hotel directly and make your reservations and ask at that time does making your reservations hold anything on the card. Most do not. Then when you check in you can either pay in cash in full in advance (which is what we will do, although we also held the room with a debit card) or you can have them charge that card or give them a different card and they charge you at check out. Hope this helps.
