Priceline Hotel: 4* New Orleans (French Quarter) Marriott

[citycrab]

Started at $55 with Downtown, added French Quarter, gradually re-bid until I got the Marriott for $62. Pretty pleased since this is a Mardi Gras weekend (though not the big one) and also the Saints MIGHT be in the Superbowl. Seems convenient and great as a home base.

Used the PRICELINE link! This Board has been good to me lately, as I am going to a fine Boston hotel next week as well.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're happy with the results and that this will work well for your plans. Certainly seems as if there are some potential events would could push rates higher in the nearterm... a nice deal!

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Have a great time in New Orleans (as well as in Boston)

Can't figure out the best place to post this, so I'll post it here: my stay at the Marriott was great - they did an awesome job considering the city was a madhouse because of the Superbowl. I had called ahead to request a corner room and got it (I suggest you do this and ask for a nice view -- corner rooms have windows on two walls and seem bigger) -- but I failed to confirm my bedding and was placed in a room with two beds. They couldn't switch me to a king that night, and said that there was a note on the priceline reservation asking for two beds (i don't know how this could have happened.) In any case we were moved and it was fine.. but I lost my nice corner view room. So my tip is to call ahead, confirm your bedding, and ask for a corner room!

Glad to hear you had a mostly positive stay at this property! :)
