miaminemo Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Hello - Love this site. 4 of us are going to NOLA for a weekend and would like to stay as close to bourbon street as we can, with a 3 or 4 star hotel. I am seeing quite a wide variety of hits on both HOTWIRE and PRICELINE.. Some good some bad. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my strategy should be to get the best value for the star rating while staying on or close to bourbon st?I know this is a vague description.. I can provide details if you get me started in the right direction.. Right now HOTWIRE lists a 3* w/ fitness, pool, rest, laundry, and hi-speed for 68/night. The 4* is 159 w/ fitness, pool, rest, business, and hi-speed for 159/night. PRICELINE has the omni royal (4*)for 189 so Im wondering what I could bid and have a reasonable shot at.. I dont really see ANY on hotwire or priceline that are ON bourbon street.. am I missing something?
slruud Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Some of the 4* hotels in the Downtown/CC district are right on Canal St. and very close to Bourbon Street. The Sheraton and JW Marriott. Even when we stayed at the W New Orleans near the casino, it was no bother taking the short hike to Bourbon. For our next stay in a couple weeks, I bid and got the Intercontinental a couple blocks from Canal, for $61/nite. We have stayed at each of the Sonestas, while right on Bourbon, not enough of a convenience that saving a few $$$ wouldn't hurt to stay a couple blocks away. Good luck.
miaminemo Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 we were actually down there in january for the bowl game. We were really hoping to be right in the quarter.. Would doing so push our price point way up?
