Ended up doing a back-up reservation at the Hilton, which is not my fave, but it's a start. And will keep trying priceline for a bigger/better deal. Subsequently, I did go back to priceline and got up to $202 for a 4 or 3.5 star. Still rejected. thanks for the tips! hope you have a great time in NOLA!

Looking for 4* or 3.5* hotel in NOLA for 5/5 to 5/8 (during jazz fest). I was rejected up to $188 beginning with $147 and going up about $10 each time and adding zones. I began with FQ, added Downtown, added Warehouse, added Garden District. Then finally added 3.5*. Still nada. Other posts for jazz fest have said that the deals don't come until April, but I am a little concerned about waiting until that long. Maybe I should get a refundable reservation somewhere and keep trying PL to see if I can get a bigger/better deal?

Thanks! I'd be happy around $150, but perhaps that's too much to ask during jazz fest! there's always the option of staying with (very generous) friends... Going to try again tomorrow.

Hi - I am also looking for a jazz fest 4* hotel (5/5 thru 5/8). I ended up bidding up to $130 for a 4* in the FQ or downtown. Wasn't successful. I began with $80 in just the FQ and gradually opened it up 4* AND 3.5* up to $110 in FQ, Downtown and Garden District. Sadly, no hits there either. Pretty surprising even for jazz fest, but could be evidence of the "deals don't come until early April" theory. Bummer, but will keep trying. I used priceline. This is my first post here, so please forgive any omissions. Have other people used PL or HW successfully during jazz fest?
