TexasLD Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hey guys!I'm looking at this property..4-star Hotel in Downtown New OrleansSmoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access I'm thinking it's the Sheraton on Canal Street? I was hoping to wait for a good deal on the Westin or Omni Royal in French Quarter, but this seems like a decent deal.Thanks for the input! Link to comment
hohogap Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 What was the rate and dates you were looking at? I'm tracking dates for 1/14/12 - 1/16/12 in another thread, and the best I've found so far (bidding up to $75/night on PL) is on lastminutetravel.com, with a $78.93/night rate for the newly remodeled Hyatt Regency (by the Superdome so a long hike to the Quarter).

I'm looking at 12/17-12/20. From the previous posts, it looks like it could be Sheraton? Link to comment
hohogap Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like that to me because the Sheraton listing includes the no smoking ammenity on the BB list of hotels. I know the moderators are busy today with the web site upgrade. Was there a HW price? I'm seeing $114/night for a similar (not identical) listing for my dates in January. Link to comment
hohogap Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 And the Hilton Riverside is available for your dates for $62.52/night on lastminutetravel.com. I know it's further from Canal/FQ, but just a thought. Link to comment

I know it's further from Canal/FQ, but just a thought.It's going for $78 so it's not bad..quite tempted to jump on the offer. Again, thanks for your comments! Link to comment
TexasLD Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Correction: $72/night Link to comment
hohogap Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Great price if you like the Sheraton. I've done PL a dozen times over the years (going back far before I joined this Board) and always liked the Sheraton. In August, got the JW Marriott for $65/night, but it WAS August! Good luck!!!

already packed Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thought I would let you both know - We now have bicycle carts to ride in and they really help when staying nearer Canal and wanting to get to the heart of Quarter. Prices are hard to understand and seem to be whatever you want to give the driver/pedler.....they will come back for you at a certain time which is nice. Also from Hilton there is a train that comes by hourly and is a buck or so - it has a stop at French Market.Now that I live here, it's nothing to walk 10 blocks or more but it used to tire me badly when I first started visiting. If the weather is nice, the walk is nice. Link to comment
hohogap Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Appreciate the comment! I'll definitely keep it in mind, particularly if we end up at the Hyatt! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 The property above matches previous reports for the Sheraton so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
TexasLD Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for all the comments! I actually decided to book the Omni Royal due to its location and history through Hotels.com (they had a sale going on). Link to comment
AaronJB Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thank you for closing the thread. Please use the site's Hotels.com link to start purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay. :) Link to comment
