AA - hows the Marriot on Canal? I think I stayed there in the late 80's for a FSU/Aubarn Sugar Bowl but thats been too long ago to remember.
I called Harrah's w/ my little Total Rewards Card (fuckin Vegas) thinking I'd get me a deal and the best the girl would do was from $409 to 389 a nite - I'm not paying that with so many good hotels nearby. But the Marriot was the place she tried to send me - sister hotel or some such.
A brief review would be nice!

Cut to the real question Doc.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Which Marriott on Canal? There is a JW and a regular Marriott. They are almost accross the street from each other.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Well - damn - I dont know the answer to that.
Am probably just gonna go w/ the Hilton or W - those are our old standbys.
The big decision now will be where to eat - some old favorites or try something new?
Rat - stfu
AA - thanks anyways

The only correct answer is Priceline.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
The big Marriott is technically in the Quarter. The JW is on the across Canal from there.
I like them both. Neat elevators at the big Marriott. Confuses the Hell outta the drunks. Heh.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Which one is on the opposite side of the Sheraton?
And of course I am using Priceline.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Does Priceline allow you to cancel and/or shorten your stay without charging all of or a large part of the nightly rate?
I proudly took AFAM 040 at Carolina.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
As a general rule, no. You can buy travel insurance with them, but it has limitations.
But at 70% off, or so, the risk of a cancellation or a shortaned stay still nets you money in the long run.

I've never received that big of a discount. I can get 50% usually, but every time I go for more than that, I get rejected.AlabamAlum wrote:As a general rule, no. You can buy travel insurance with them, but it has limitations.
