Need help with Hampton Inn rates

[momto2]

We are booked for arrival this weekend at Embassy Suites in N.O. Saw the posts here about the $70-80 rates for Hampton Inn Convention Center. This is considerably less than the $144/night we are paying at Embassy. The Hampton website has rooms but they are $159/night. Any ideas as to where I can find a lower rate? TIA

I think it just depends on when you are cruising and if it's a busy weekend. I am the one who got the great rates, originally booked for $99, but then, when my friends were ready to book, rates were suddenly lowered to $71 (AAA rate, including taxes!). I was able to get that rate, but, a few days later, noticed the rates had gone back up to $99. :confused: By the way, we are cruising in June, and the rate I got was for a standard room (2 double beds), not a suite.

 

 

Just keep checking, unless you want to try a site like priceline....

Hello, my T/A booked this hotel for me and we are paying $179.00. How did you guys get such low rates, we are booked for October 2nd?

For Oct 2, you might want to consider Holiday Inn Select on Convention Blvd - about $92 before taxes on their website.

 

Don't seem to be any bargain for this weekend, unless you can pick something up on Priceline.

Maybe because we are going in the "off" season......even though it's summer, it's off-season in New Orleans because of the heat....???

As the tshirt says, "It's not the heat, it's the stupidity" :D

 

A lot fewer conventions, which book up the hotels around the convention center/cruise ships, in the summer.

 

Spring and Fall usually have great weather and more conventions.

 

This week also is St Patricks/St Josephs so watch out for a parade. :D

i too saw the hampton at a rate of $159 per night....the embassy is nicer and cheaper in my humble opinion....also seems to be a bit closer as far as walking distance...hope this helps....good luck:)
