We are actually 3 students (on low budget) doing this weekend trip and ideally we will like to stay in any of the following zones as they seem to be the more centric ones (we have not been in N.O. before so this desicion is purely base on the N.O. map:) Central Business District Convention Center French Quarter Garden District However, if zones such as Metairie - Harahan or New Orleans Airport (MSY) have hotels at a much lower price, we would not mind to stay there (driving to downtown during the day and driving back to the hotel at night.) For the number of stars, we would actually stay in any 1*, 2*, 3*, etc., we just want to be able to get a number of stars that maximizes the percentage discount (off the regular room price) and that is not too expensive. Say, 3 persons X $20-$35 will means a room for $60 to $105 (including tax and fees.) Also, how will our odd of winning the bid will change if we decide to stay either Satrurday night only or Saturday and Sunday nights. I will appreciate your advice.

Though the aforementioned ranges seem still expensive as in my last PL bid I won on January 2006, I paid $34 per night in Austin, TX for a 2*

I am not very familiar with N.O. price ranges, but I will feel comfortable paying $65-75 for 2* and $70-100 for 2.5* if well located in N.O. Or much less if located in the city outskirts. Please let me know if we are in good shape, also, what will a good bid for a 1* hotel, in case my ranges are way below. Thanks, Mario

Hello, I am actually, seeking for tips on biding for a 1-night stay in N.O. on 3/11/2006. Thanks, Mario And, although we would like a central location in the city, we will have a car so we are flexible to get a location a bit off-the-center if it will cost significantly less.
