Hotwire Hotel: 4* New Orleans (Downtown-Convention Center) Le Pavillon

[menelaus7]

Hi Everyone:

Had a bit of bad luck with PRICELINE trying to book a hotel thru these dates. After looking through the Hotels on the pinned list and the number of 4* hotels in both the French Quarter and the Downtown district, I tried to book a hotel in the French Quarter for these dates. The price that was showing up on Priceline started at $119 per night. When I clicked that number though, the price jumped to $159 per night.

I started bidding at $60 for a 4* hotel in the French Quarter. I went up with $5 increments to $90 per night by adding in one district, except the Downtown district. By the time I got to the $95 bid, I decided to use Hotwire and accept the 4.5* hotel (Le Pavillon) in the downtown district for $119 per night. I had read wonderful things about that hotel and was willing to pay the $19 extra per room to be guaranteed that hotel. As Priceline has about seven 4* hotels in the Downtown district, I was not willing to bid lower and end up with one of the other hotels in that district.

I did use both the PRICELINE and the HOTWIRE links above to make my purchase.

I am happy with the HOTWIRE price of $119 as the hotel is much more expensive through their website. I wished I had booked that hotel last night though, as it was only $106. Sometimes it is tough to make that final decision (particularly when you have another person deciding with you).
