I think I'd like to try for Downtown first, then the FQ. I realize I may not be successful given swag's update, but I figure trying won't hurt. If it doesn't work out, I can try again closer to time.

Thanks for the additional information. I think I would like to try the Downtown Zone first, and if that doesn't work, try the FQ.

I've never used Priceline before, and am looking for advice on bidding for April 22-24 in either the Downtown or FQ zones of New Orleans. My initial price thoughts were for a goal of about $50-$75 for 3* or better, although this is the first weekend of the Jazz Festival so I suspect that might not be enough. I'd definitely like to keep it under $100.

I didn't even think about making two posts for the separate dates. I'll do so shortly. I definitely don't live in a major city, but I do feel like I'm well enough traveled that I can handle myself in a city. I basically just don't want to end up in a rough part of town. I don't think the Downtown zone is, but Google only got me so far. My preference to Downtown over FQ was lower cost, and less noise (although I realize it will probably still be loud, but likely not as much as in the FQ). If the $50-$75 isn't a reasonable budget, that's certainly fine too. It's not preferable, but we could probably go up to $100 if need be.

Hello. I've never used Priceline before, but am interested in trying it out for an upcoming trip to New Orleans. Looking at the maps, I think I am most interested in staying Downtown primarily, with the French Quarter/Riverwalk as my second choice. My biggest concern is safety. Are the locations of these hotels safe enough to walk around? I was thinking of 3* hotels or better, and was looking at paying approximately $50-$75. I looked at the recent win posts, but does this seem reasonable? I need the night of April 17, and April 22-24. I realize the second set of dates might be more expensive due to the Jazz Festival. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
