Priceline Hotel: New Orleans

[stevecastle845]

I am going to be in New Orleans december 4 & 5, 6 . Never been there before and don't have a clue where to stay or even what area I might want to stay. Probably downtown or French quarter. Any suggestions would be appreciated

As a first timer, going as a tourist, your first choice is the French Quarter.

Alternatives include downtown (split into Convention Center and Central Business zones on Priceline), which is walkable to the Quarter; and the quieter Garden District, which is a streetcar ride away.

For any of these areas, you probably don't need a car. Just bring comfortable walking shoes. Besides the streetcars, taxis are plentiful and affordable. And parking downtown and in the Quarter is expensive; expect to pay $20-30/night at hotels there.

Hotels in other areas, like the airport, are much cheaper, but probably not worth the inconvenience.

Swag knows the city well and if i were returning to New Orleans (which i soon hope to) i would most likely be looking at the French Quarter and/or Central Business District.

Let us know what you decide regarding zone selection and if you have a maximum bid amount in mind... we'll then suggest a strategy to follow.
