Priceline Hotel: 4* New Orleans (Convention Center-Warehouse-Arts District) Marriott CC

[3ddd]

Hi all. I have two things to share:

• I recently booked a cruise through Priceline and got a free night at a hotel. What they do is... several weeks before departure, they send you an email saying that you can now book the hotel. You follow the link and it takes you to a bidding page. This page shows you what Priceline is "throwing in" toward your stay. For mine, they threw in $70. So I bid $1.00 and won a four-star right next to the cruise terminal. I couldn't have been more pleased. In all, I had to pay $20 for some fee (taxes, I think), and I can walk to the ship.
  
• The other thing is that the hotel is the Marriott New Orleans Convention Center, which does not appear on the Priceline Map.
  

Anyhow, if you are thinking about a cruise, shop around for the lowest price and then check the price on Priceline. If they match the lowest price (which I have found, they do) it's well worth booking through them to get the free-ish hotel. Good luck everyone!

According to Priceline and other sites, the Marriott New Orleans Convention Center is a 4* property. I will be staying there on 09/16/2011. (I booked a 5-day cruise, so I got a 1-night hotel stay.)
