Priceline Hotel: 4* New Orleans (French Quarter) The Saint Hotel, Autograph Collection

[hawkeye88]

First time visiting New Orleans and would really like to stay in French Quarters for the experience and convenience.

I have been bidding on Priceline over the last few day and have not been successful. Any suggestions? Below is my bid history bidding only on FQ region

March 3rd

140 - 4* rejected

Added 3.5* still bid 140 and rejected

March 4th

$150 - 4* rejected

Added 3.5* still bid 150 and rejected

Added 3* still and bid 140 and rejected

I'm getting kind of worried that this may be a little more expensive than I expected

Any suggestions? I will post if I have any luck. Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

New Orleans unfortunately does get noticeably more expensive if there is a convention or event going on, and the FQ area is the first to start getting expensive. Unfortunately, this looks like an instance of the entire area being expensive - HOTWIRE has no listings showing in the FQ area for these dates, and other areas are pricey - the downtown 4* on HOTWIRE is $229 and a 3.5* is $232.

What would be your desired max for this stay?

Thanks for the input thus far.

Our max would likely be 160-175 per night. I think we may have found alternate options for 4/21-4/22 but still may decide to split our stays to 2 different locations and may stay in the FQ on 4/23.

Hopefully I'll have a little more luck on bidding just that date.

Thanks and I'll post my bids once I try again.

Ended up using 2 nights of Holiday Inn points on 4/22 and 4/23. That left me with 1 night that I still needed to purchase accommodations for. A month or so back I booked Harrahs for 195 for this night but tonight I thought I would try one more time booking 4/21. My first bid in FQ 4 Star I put in 133 and it took. After taxes it bumped it up to 161.

Cant wait!!!!
