You might consider using the Australian search engine for hotels, Wotif.com, for last-minute bookings to any of 30 or 40 countries
I've been receiving numerous favorable comments on a search engine maintained for last-minute hotel bookings (always within 28 days) by those enterprising Australians. It's called Wotif.com, and although it's mainly used by Australians and New Zealanders, it accepts searches and bookings from anyone, for travel to almost everywhere. It's best, obviously, for hotels in scores of Australian cities; it's worst for hotels in New York City; it's excellent for hotels in London and the U.K. And it has become a mighty presence in travel, with several offices around the world.
The company's website, www.wotif.com, stresses the last-minute nature of Wotif's best prices. Book within a couple of weeks, it claims, and you'll score big. Whatever, you might check the rates you've gotten from U.S. search engines with what the Aussies are offering.
