kstubbosu Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Hello.....would like some advice and help on bidding for hotels during French Quarter Festival. Have used priceline before and done well in bidding, but would just like some advice for New Orleans. Came to French Quarter Festival last year and stayed at Holiday Inn in the Quarter - think I ended up spending $110/night. I know late prolly in trying to book a room, but any help would be appreciated. Need 2 rooms as well. Thanks!

kstubbosu Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Posted February 14, 2011 Prefer star rating of 3 starts or better
thereuare Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Please start by reading your messages and clicking this PRICELINE link.I'm doubtful that $125 will not be enough for a 3* hotel for these dates, but if all 3 zones are acceptable, you can try as follows:At the 3* level you have TWO re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* French Quarter...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Downtown...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Convention Center...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* French Quarter and Downtown...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* French Quarter and Convention Center...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* French Quarter and Downtown and Convention Center...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
