Oh, I see.  You're locking in a room without paying for it.  Got it.

I was wondering why there was a weekly rate attached to that link.

Whatever.  I'm arriving Saturday and leaving Tuesday and since I'll be splitting the room with someone I don't give a shtein what it costs.  If it's 200 a night that's a 100 to me.  No big whoop.


ice grillin you

also that hotel has an excellent govt. discount

IGY, I've never been...so...is the general plan to stay around or in the French Quarter the whole time? I'll start looking at hotels like you recommended.

you dont have to be in the french quarter proper....i actually like frenchman street better than bourbon....its like bourbon street without all the doucheyness...central buiness dist. (where my hotel is) is a little cheaper than the french quarter but still walkable

lower garden dist. the marigny and even uptown are all ok but gonna be cabs for the most part to the french quarter...its really up to you...i mean how important is being able to walk to the french quarter versus having to take a cab?....if you can save 50 bucks a night on the hotel maybe its worth having to take a few cabs while you are there??

also i didnt look into really cheap hotels as my girl wont stay at them....if you dont care about zesty hotels then maybe you can find something cheap actually in the french quarter

seems fine

but id read thru the reviews...just glancing they seem good but you have to do your due diligence in NO because a lot of seemingly nice hotels have bed bugs and blood on the sheets...crap like that....so definitey check out the reviews on trip advisor and yelp

I will probably be at Hampton Inn-Downtown. I tried to get a comped room at Harrah's but I don't have any available in NO.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

i seriously hate you all
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

I just checked and it'll be like $600 to go from Thur-Tue.  Not bad.  I might just go ahead and reserve a room someplace in case I am able to make it.
