swaintwin Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 any idea...4* october 22-26 $73. restaurant, golf, business, wireless, fitness, pool. have a meeting at the conference center and want to ensure i don't end up at the superdome or too far away.
swag Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Well, the Hyatt by the Dome is still closed from Katrina damage, so the farthest away you are likely to be is one of the Canal St hotels like the Sheraton or JW. Those are still pretty good walks to the CC, especailly if your meeting is in one of the halls on the South end of the building. Maybe 10-15 minutes.Of course, cabs are plentiful and cheap. If you have to spend $6-7 each way from hotel to meeting and back, that brings your nightly cost to $86, which is still likely a lot lower than a direct booking at a nearby 4* would be.
thereuare Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 It is believed that this is the W New Orleans, which has previously been seen with these amenities but at the 4.5* level... it is speculated that it has been downgraded to 4*, although nobody has reported yet as such so no evidence of this.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchase.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

swaintwin Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 looks like i missed the boat. no longer offered. best offer is a customer favorite 4* downtown, gym, restaurant, pool, business now for $83
thereuare Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 This is a match (very common amenities) for both the Inter-Continental and the Sheraton so our best guess would be eihter of these. One Customer Favorite review mentions the hotel being right on Canal, so that would make the Sheraton a more likely outcome/guess.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

swaintwin Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 verifcation that the 4 star with rest, bar, internet, pool, business and golf in downtown area on oct 22-26 is indeed the W. got it for $75 a night. with a major conference in town that week...it's nice to know i didn't have to pay the "discounted conference price" of $149-212 at other hotels.question about hotwire. i booked the room for 2 adults. is there a way to ensure i get two beds in the room? can i simply ask at check in, or should i have put down 4 adults to ensure?
thereuare Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Glad the other 4* re-appeared for you and it went as expected.For the bedding question, see the related 'occupancy' link in our PRICELINE FAQ.Enjoy your stay.
