Priceline Hotel: 4* New Orleans (French Quarter) Sheraton New Orleans Hotel

[cjeet2007]

Hi,

I need help in biding for a 4* hotel in New Orleans - French Quarter - Canal Street area. I tried bidding from $70 and went up to $80. I also used these Priceline Re-Bidding Explained tips.

I have exhausted all the optional areas that do not have a 4* hotel. So I will be trying to bid again tomorrow. Can you please give me some pointers?

Dates -

Check in - 01/16/2014

Check out - 01/19/2014

Please start by following-up your previous Priceline Las Vegas thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip, then reply to this thread and we will have a look at the offer above.

Sorry for not following up on my previous thread. My bad.

I have posted my Winning Bid

At current rates for these dates i don't think you're in the right ballpark for a 4* hotel... what is your maximum bid for this stay?

Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com, what is the best rate you're able to find for a 4* hotel in this area?

Or maybe waiting until closer to the dates you want to go will be more fruitful........

I tried bidding again yesterday. I increased my bidding upto $115 - no success :(

Do I need to increase my bid somewhere near to Priceline Express Deal - currently available at $144?

In that case can you please help me identify the hotel in Express Deal -

Also, Hotwire has an offer for $141. Can you please help me identify the Hotel on Hotwire too? Is this the same as Priceline?

I have used the links in my latest bidding.

For the HOTWIRE hotel I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

NOTE that to see the complete amenities associated with each you will need to do the following:

1) search HOTWIRE and select the offer from the search results page

2) click the BOOK NOW button

3) in the TRIP SUMMARY BOX click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

Using the method above these are the amenities i'm seeing for the 4* hotel in the French Quarter zone for your dates:

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Smoke Free

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Roll-in Shower

If this is what you're seeing, my best guess for this property would be the Sheraton.

There is a good chance this is the property as the PRICELINE EXPRESS property, but can't say for certain given the limited amenities shown by PRICELINE and that they are prevalent at most 4* hotels in this zone.

Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

... Do I need to increase my bid somewhere near to Priceline Express Deal - currently available at $144?...

I'm a member, not a moderator, but regarding your question above .... I've seen anecdotal evidence suggesting bidding will save more in the range of $10-$15.

One never knows, and it doesn't hurt to explore the lower level first. However, I'm guessing you will have to be considerably closer to that $144 to be successful.

Bagged a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal at $135 a night. Yes, it is Sheraton.

Thanks for your help!
