MCTX Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 We're hoping for a 4* Downtown (or in the French Quarter--but I felt that was risky as we need to be within walking distance of the Intercontinental) for a 2/17/2011-2/20/2011 stay. Rates seem to be a little higher this weekend (perhaps due to conference we are attending and other events?). Any ideas on where to start a bid? Link to comment

AaronJB Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Rates seem on the higher side for these dates, but thankfully not sky-high. What appears to be the Sheraton is showing for $119 on HOTWIRE in the downtown area - if this is a busy date with a convention and other events, rates may not be as heavily discounted. Still, I'd say that you have enough time to start at $75 and work higher by $5's.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

MCTX Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Posted on Hotwire board, but decided to name my own price with Priceline1) $754* French Quarter *FAILED*2) $804* French Quarter & Downtown*FAILED*3) $854* French Quarter, Downtown, New Orleans East (No known 4*)*FAILED*4) $954* French Quarter, Downtown, New Orleans East (No known 4*), Metairie (No known 4*)*FAILED*5) $1004* French Quarter, Downtown, New Orleans East (No known 4*), Metairie (No known 4*), New Orleans Airport (No known 4*)*FAILED*5) $1054* French Quarter, Downtown, New Orleans East (No known 4*), Metairie (No known 4*), New Orleans Airport (No known 4*), New Orleans West Bank (No known 4*)*WIN*Sheraton New Orleans. Based on other posts, it seems this is higher than normal due to a busy weekend. I'm still happy--we are going for a conference at the room would have been $200! Now we are close to the conference and the French Quarter. Thanks for the help on this site--the tricks for re-bidding on Priceline helped immensely! Link to comment
