New Olreans
 

We have booked a room for 149 a night in the french quarter at Best Western Landmark Hotel. My question is this. Can I get a lower rate at a nicer hotel or is this hotel fine? <BR>

The hotel is okay but that seems expensive. I didn't really like Rampart Street, either.

Check out http://www.BiddingForTravel.com and look at the New Orleans hotel topic. You'll see that a lot of people are getting 4* hotels for well under $100/night (and sometimes under $50). <BR> <BR>The W Hotel, Marriott, and the Wyndham seem to be the ones that come up most often for 4* hotels in the French Quarter when you bid on Priceline. <BR> <BR>Don't know anything about this Best Western, but the Web site mentioned above seems to indicate that you can get nice hotels (at least they're part of good chains) for a lot less than $149. <BR> <BR>Usual disclaimers apply--no vested interest in your using Priceline or the Web site mentioned above, you can only bid on a star rating and Priceline zone (and not a specific hotel), previous winning bids don't guarantee you'll match the price when you bid, yadda, yadda. <BR> <BR>Good luck!

Have you checked Expedia's prices? I was able to book the Royal Sonesta for $79.00.

Maybe the Landmark has improved since the last time I was there, but I remember it looking trashy. You can do much better than that. If you don't want to go the priceline route (which is what I would do), you could probably get a decent price at a bed and breakfast like the W, or the Monteleone.
