injunjoe Posted January 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Just booked a park and cruise special with Holiday Inn - French Quarter at 124 Royal Street. It is located in the FQ between Iberville & Canal. The rate is $129 per night and parking for the 1st night is $23. You can park there up 7 additional days at no extra charge. Their website is at http://www.ichotelsgroup.com and their phone is 504-529-7211. It is so nice to find a place that will actually honor their posted rate.

sea_u_onboard Posted January 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I booked the Holiday Inn Convention Center for the same price $129. plus $12 (Fulton Garage) for the night you stay - other 7 days covered in the price. Very close to the pier. Go to http://holiday-inn-select-new-orleans-convention-center.com/html/new_orleans_hotel_discounts_.html for info. Ask for the Park and Cruise Special. Couple other perks.

Budget Queen Posted January 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have stayed at the Royal St. Holiday Inn and it is greatly superior for location touring the quarter. Very nice hotel and close to most everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindslea Posted February 8, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I just booked the Holiday Inn French Quarter for March 5 and they are charging me $149, but the lady said that is including all taxes and other charges. Has anyone actually stayed there and is this rate consistant with what others are paying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 8, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Taxes can add a big chunk of money. :) As mentioned above, I have stayed there. Excellent location and if needed a Walgreens down the block. :) I did pay less but I was there for 5 days and booked an air hotel package. Last trip I stayed at LaQuinta and found a fare of $200 less on http://www.lowestfare.com compared to all other sites. This was for 7 days.

Cotton Posted February 8, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2005 .....but the LaQuinta's are all located away from CBD/Quarter/port area, with cab fare involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 9, 2005 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I stayed at the Camp LaQuinta- 1 block from Canal, and never took a cab. Streetcar is also 1 block. But I have no mobility limitations and walked to Frenchman several times- probably not doable for some. I also only take the city bus from the airport and walked to the hotel and took the street car back- to Elk. I also only travel light and have a quality rolling bag. My cheapness allows me 8 weeks of travel per year (with 4 weeks in Alaska/year). So certainly not for everyone. The La Quinta breakfast was a great add on and the $69 rate a bargain.

kguenther Posted February 9, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The LaQuintas are located away from the terminal, etc. but cabfare rates included will still save you much money over a $150 hotel room. We are staying at LaQuinta Free (due to rewards program) and taking a cab to the ship terminal. I feel like this is the best deal for us, plus LaQuinta's are pretty standard quality across the board---you know what you are getting. But that's us....

klsmom8 Posted February 13, 2005 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2005 We are staying at the Holiday Inn-French Quarter in June. How easy is it to get around the hotel and area in a wheelchair? My dad booked this hotel for the family because of it's access to the French Quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
