Vio.com, a travel booking website, looked at its data to better understand booking habits in the U.S. It found that on average, travelers using its platform book U.S. hotels just five days in advance.

It also found that booking U.S. hotels last minute often saves people up to 30%, as hotels discount their nightly rates to try to fill their rooms.

But some cities see more spontaneous bookings than others. Check out which five cities in the U.S. are booked the most last-minute and which are booked the longest in advance, according to Vio.
