SaintTaris Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm looking to travel with another couple for their first Mardi Gras experience. I am originally from New Orleans and would like to stay at a down town hotel instead of staying with family as usual. Traditionally hotel prices are inflated during Mardi Gras and I would hate to pay $200 for a hotel I normally pay ~$70 a night for.Any tips? Link to comment

SaintTaris Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm looking for 3.5* - 4* hotels. The dates are 12-15 Feb 09. Location Downtown, Convention Center and French Quarter are ideal. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 What would be your max budget per night? Link to comment
SaintTaris Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would like to keep it at $100 per night per room or less per night. I need 2 rooms. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Traditionally hotel prices are inflated during Mardi Gras and I would hate to pay $200 for a hotel I normally pay ~$70 a night for.Mardi Gras is not a "normal" time of year in New Orleans, so i don't think it's realistic to expect "normal" prices. Rates are a function of supply/demand, and with lots of guests coming to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, demand is up... and so are prices.I would like to keep it at $100 per night per room or less per night. I need 2 rooms.At the moment, based upon current rates, I don't think your budget is going to be realistic/successful. If you'd like to give it a try anyway, let us know if $100 is your maximum bid amount OR if that is your 'all-in' amount (if the latter... what is your maximum bid amount?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
