RE Park Plaza (Radisson) downgrade: The following was posted on the NOLA Jazz Fest chat board: ...I had put in 3 stars in the CBD and in the past had gotten the Hyatt, but this time I receieved the Park Plaza and thought I was stuck. When I saw that the Park Plaza had been downgraded to 2 stars, but my confirmation said 3 stars, I contacted Priceline about this. After about 15 mins. on hold with them they came back and told me they couldn't put me in another hotel, but they were issuing me a refund and that I can now re-bid. Good news for those looking for Jazz Fest accomodations.
