Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* New Orleans (French Quarter) Bienville House

[bobofoosh]

I'm not sure what this 3.5* in Downtown would be.

Selected amenities include: Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access.

I thought the Whitney, but then there is a pool. Everything else matches the Bourbon Orleans but that is squarely in the FQ.

Any thoughts? I'm thinking the Whitney must have added a pool, but it's not listed on the Wyndham website

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I dont' believe the Whitney has a pool, so that should rule that out as a possibilty.

I noticed on HOTWIRE for these dates that there are higher rated hotels at less cost than this one... is there a particular hotel you're looking for or trying to avoid?

Let us know what it is you are looking for regarding this stay and we'll try to help find your best deal.

I really don't want the Hyatt or the Radisson (whatever it's called now).

Won't risk bidding on the 4 star if there's a chance it's the hyatt (which it could easily be) and I think the 3 star is the old radisson.

So you could safely bid 4* in the CDB zone on Priceline and not risk the Hyatt or the Park Plaza (formerly the Radisson) which are both rated 3*... unless either of them have been upgraded to 4* and not yet reported.

On the otherhand, both of the hotels you mention are in the CBD, correct? So why not avoid the area completely and bid on Priceline for the French Quarter?

Another suggestion would be to try for the Astor Crowne Plaza for $109/nite. It's listed as 'on request' which means EasyClick will need to contact them directly to see if they can get any additional rooms at the $109/nite rate, but we've seen them be able to get additional rooms at this property in the past. A few months ago it was going for a bit less and was a very popular choice due to the GREAT REVIEWS.

Let us know your thoughts and what direction you'd like to head and we'll take it from there.

Both Astor and Alexa couldn't be booked through easyclick.

I just booked the 3.5* French Quarter for my trip (3/4-3/7) and it was the Bienville house hotel.

This Hotel features the following amenities:

Restaurant(s)

Pool(s)

It has noce reviews through tripadvisor and I'm very pleased with the deal.
