Northshorecowboy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Was seeing a 4* French Quarter / Canal Street hotel on the Priceline Express offerings for $82 (then went up to 85). Was pretty sure it was the Crown Plaza (Astor) Hotel. Stayed there before and found it decent. Not a Higher-End 4*, but certainly good, and in a decent location - right on the Trolley, right on the edge of the Quarter where many good restaurants are, etc. Bid $70 and was not accepted. Waited a day and bid $75 and won. Sure enough, it was the Crown Plaza. UPDATE: Original trip was for Sunday to Thursday during Mardi Gras, the week before Fat Tuesday. $75 a night for a 4* is excellent! Decided to arrive a day earlier, so I used the "extend your priceline stay" feature for Saturday 2/22. Priceline said it could not do it, not for the $75 anyway. It offered me standard rates of $363! I then looked at the Express list of offerings and the hotel (assume it is the same) was listed at $236 for the Saturday I need. I then checked the dates I had booked and the $82 rate was available. SO, Saturday 2/22 is simply a High-Rate, High-Occupancy date. Working on a new solution.
