Hi,
My mom has some medical issues and my trip is uncertain until after her doctor's appointment
on Friday 5/31/2019. I had to cancel the reservations at Gasthaus Maria to avoid a fee, just in case.
I can book somewhere once I know we can go for sure. Anyone have ideas? Now that that hotel is cancelled, I am open to ideas of hotels, hostels, airbnb, etc. It is for me and my son. Budget is $600 (550 Euro)
I'd like to find something that allows free cancellation up to two days before travel so I can have a place. I am hoping the trip will work out. We will not have a car. Thanks for your ideas.

If booking.com etc. don't work for you: the most comprehensive overview is at the website of the Garmisch tourist information.

I have had excellent success with Booking.com, and many of their offers have free cancellation up to 2 days before. BUT, that comes at a slightly higher price. Pick your dates, see what they have that can be cancelled. A Note: Once you pick a hotel and it comes up on "show it on the map view" and all of the other available hotels and their prices will be shown on the same map.
Good Luck!

Have you tried writing or calling the place you previously reserved and explain your situation and why you had needed to cancel, and ask if they could let you know of any cancellations on your dates - and then when all goes well in 2 days you can tell them you are definitely coming?
A lot of us have elderly parents with health issues, and so may well the staff of the hotel, and they may look on you compassionately.

thank you all. The Gasthaus Maria told me to cancel and they couldn't hold the room two days extra. I found a place in Fussen that I can cancel up to two days before. I am feeling pretty good about still being able to go and finding something last minute. I will check with the town as was recommended, too. Thank you all.
