Priceline Hotel: 3.5* New Orleans (French Quarter) Astor Crowne Plaza

[Sneddy]

Hello, i am trying to book a stay in the French Quarter are of New Orleans for the night of Jan 23, 2010.

I have tried :

3* - $50

3* - $60

3.5* - $80

4* - $90

3* - $70

All with no luck! I think these prices are close or better than what other people have won with??

What should I do next....any help would be great, thanks.

Hotwire has a 3* for around $100 and a 2* in the $50s, so you're not all that far off, price-wise.

Rooms are likely being driven up by the Saints. If they win their game next weekend, then on Sunday the 24th, the Superdome will host the NFC Championship, Saturday night will be a huge party, and hotel rooms will be scarce. But if they lose, then lots of folks will probably be canceling reservations they are holding for your weekend and prices should drop...

Thanks for the heads up!

In light of the above i would suggest booking a fully cancellable back-up reservation (try one of the link in our support page or a hotel using MAPS and HOTELS.com... of course always confirm the cancellation policy)... this will assure you a rom if the Saints shoudl win; if they lose, you will likely be able to get something cheaper via PRICELINE or HOTWIRE (and cancel your back-up reservation)

Ok, I managed to get the Astor Crowne plaza for $100, Jan 23, 2010.

Thanks for the help.

If PRICELINE.. was this in the French Quarter or Downtown zone?

I booked with PRICELINE and it was/is in the French Quarter.
