Thanks everyone for their input! I looked through trip advisor and saw most people recieved Intercontinental for about $50 from Priceline so I tried that. I am bummed to say I got the Wyndham right next to the convention center and almost a mile from the FQ. While the hotel looks fine, the location is exactly what I didn't want. Does anyone know any possible way to get out of this or have them assign me another hotel? I would be happy to pay more. If I had this to do over I would choose Le Pavillion from Hotwire and will do just that if I can get out of this....

Those both sound good to me. As far as Intercontinental... Im going to guess these other 2 locations (le pavillion and hilton) come higher recommended? Which do you think is a better value/location (or a surer bet on the actual hotel I will get)? Thanks! Are any of them Country Inn and Suites, you think? I've read almost 100% positive reviews on this place and it looks closer than most.

Hello, we are going out to New Orleans for 4 nights 10/30 thru 11/3. I used Bookit.com's mystery 4* feature and was a little bit dissapointed after reading reviews and prices paid for Intercontinental. It seems to be available through Hotwire and Priceline for much less (1/2!) than the $99/night. My reservation is fully refundable so I am going to cancel and book something through the links on this site. What should I bid on? I am new to these sites... We are young and want to be close to everything- I am afraid of ending up far. I also have read alot that Intercontinental is better for business travel and is one of the most distant in this area from food, bars, etc. I want something nice and safe, but the $50ish a night posts I see people getting on here are very appealing! Can you suggest anything? This site is such a great idea! It appears personaly kept as I've gone through and read posts/responses. I'm so glad I found it and have made a small donation to say thanks for everything you do!
