bamadoc Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hotwire is showing a 4* Downtown hotel for $59/night.Boutique, Pool, Bus Center, WiFiThis sounds better than the last Priceline entry ($90) for that weekend. I have a cancelable res at the St. James for $105/night but I think I can do better.Any ideas on which hotel this is? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 My guess is that the Hilton St Charles Ave may be a possible match.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase. Link to comment
bamadoc Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks.Where do I find the TripAdvisor ratings in HOTWIRE? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The TA information isn't shown for all hotels, and sometimes comes and goes for the same hotel from search to search.If it is show it would be after clicking the CONTINUE button next to a HOTWIRE offering, then to the right of the map on the subsequent page.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

bamadoc Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 By the time I got back to Hotwire, the price had gone up to $67/ night. I used Priceline and got the Intercontinental for the same price. Thanks for help with the ID. Link to comment
bamadoc Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Based on the last two entries, I thought I could get the Intercontinental or Sheraton for $55-57. Not so. I started at $55 and worked up $2/ bid with all rebids until I got it at $67. Not bad though for the beginning of Mardi Gras and it's on the parade route. That could be good or bad. I had the St. James booked at $105/ night, so I'm happy with saving $100.Thanks for the help and as always, I used the PRICELINE link above. Link to comment
