Priceline Hotel: 4* New Orleans (Downtown) Renaissance Pere Marquette

[charlestonemt]

Started bidding for 4* in French Quarter for same dates

Starting bid - $68, increased incrementally by adding zones (over last 2 days) up to $82...no luck

Dropped star rating to 3.5* in French Quarter

Starting bid - $50, increased incrementally by adding zones (over last 2 days) up to $73...still no luck

Started new bid...

Downtown 4* 6/18 - 6/23

Starting bid - $80 - rejected, but was offered to increase price to $100/night immediately - declined offer

Added French Quarter and increased to $82 - ACCEPTED

Price/Night: $82

Subtotal: $410

Taxes & Fees: $75.10

Total: $485.10

So, by increasing my bid by $2/night, I may have ended up overpaying by $1 x 5 nights ($5) but I'm OK with that.

Oh, and of course I used the PRICELINE link on this site for my purchase.

Very nice hotel.

If you have the opportunity you should check out the restaurant in the lobby.

"MiLa". It's not your typical hotel restaurant.

Great restaurant run by two married chefs.

Very good deal for a 3 course lunch @ $20.
