I'm not seeing this property on a current HOTWIRE search for your dates... are you still seeing this property offered by HOTWIRE?

If so, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

I searched one adult one child. It had not came up previously when I had checked but it did last night. I haven't checked again this morning but if it does I still would like to know which hotel it is because of the complimentary breakfast and location.

[TRAVELINGLADY]

I just checked and it isnt there this morning but I am still curious to what hotel that was???? I had not seen it in my previous checks.

I'm showing a 4.5 star in downtown which I am assuming is the Le Pavillion for $69 (regular rate $129.00)

I'm showing a 4 star in French Quarter which looks like Astor Crowne Plaza for $59 (regular rate $107.10)

I would appreciate any feedback on which hotel is more preferable and why. Thanks

It comes down to quality vs. location (not that either is poor quality or that either has a bad location, but each excels in a different area)... the Pavillon gets better reviews (read here) and is a 5+ minute walk to the Quarter while the Astor gets decent reviews (read here) but is located directly in the French Quarter.

Personally i would take the Pavillon as i would prefer the nicer hotel and wouldn't mind the walk to the Quarter, as well as it being a little quieter at nite. If my purpose of the trip was drinking until all hours of the nite i might choose the Astor CP, but otherwise i'd take the Pavillon.

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

Well there won't be any drinking going on so that part doesn't matter. I want to take my little girl to the Imax and to the Riverwalk mall. :)

I'd take the Le Pavillon... let us know what you decide.

ok it is 12:26am central time and the hotel is back on the hotwire list.

It says 3* Downtown $54 amentities show Continental breakfast, pool, business center and internet.

I have done this same search several times through out the day and this hotel has not shown all day until tonight. I am doing a search for 2 adults 8/13-8/15 on the HOTWIRE website. Last time it showed up it was for a search for 1 adult 1 child now it only shows up when I do 2 adults. Can anyone tell me what this mystery hotel is ?

This property has not yet been identified... but to save $15/nite is it worth the 1.5* drop in star level and the 'known' great reviews of the 4.5* HOTWIRE hotel? (presumed to be the Le Pavillon)
