I'm tentatively thinking of visting New Orleans in late October. I'll most likely be by myself and would like to stay in the French Quarter and spend no more than $100/night for lodging. I checked some discount websites, but it doesn't seem like this is possible. The place just has to be clean and safe, not fancy. Is this possible? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. T hanks very much in advance!

Google French Quarter budget hotel and you will find multiple listings under $100.

Try Priceline, but know that parking will be expensive.

I've never stayed at La Maison Marigny but it's been getting rave reviews for years. It's on Bourbon Street at the very edge of the French Quarter, and according to their website, rates begin at $139 (a steal for the French Quarter).

I spoke with one of the owners a few years ago when I was planning a party in NO, and he was very helpful. If I were you, I'd jump all over this!

Prices will vary according to what is going on in New Orleans, but Some of Our favrites that are in the Quarter:

Dauphine Orleans http://www.dauphineorleans.com/

Iberville Suites http://www.ibervillesuites.com/

Monteleone http://hotelmonteleone.com/

le Richelieu http://www.lerichelieuhotel.com/

Scout12, the hotels Rich listed, which I agree are good, are not in your price range unless you can find a major discount.

Granted I have not been back since Katrina but I liked staying in the Garden District and riding the St. Charles streetcar into the Quarter. Staying on the east side of Canal St. is not worth $50 more than the west side of the street.
Canal now has a streetcar line that was not there when I was last there.

Here is what I would recommend: I've stayed here many times before and walking out the back door puts you in the French Quarter.

A Marriott for $100 a night?

SusanCS

Most of those deals expire in August.

If you scroll down and look at the Specials they are listed into Oct...you can call the Hotel directly and they will often extend teh curent Specials (one is for $110.00 a night) and will work with other deals too...

Yes sf7307..I gave my secret away... but that is what Fodors is for; to help out Fodorites

BTW, they just finnished a multi million dollar upgrade...so is like a 5** property without going thru bidding.

Well, great deal then! I'll keep it in mind for my next trip (which undoubtedly will be in high season and much more expensive )
