hotels in NO?

When I went to my first SWW in New Orleans in 2000, I just searched on line. If you look for small hotels in the French Quarter or near the convention center you will find something within easy walking distance that is at least somewhat charming and probably quite a bit cheaper than the big hotels on the SWW website.

Try the Hilton Garden Inn, Convention Center. It is supposedly right next to the Convention Center and is approx $110/nt vs the "official" hotels at $189+.

Zander,

I booked at the Hilton garden Inn at $118 a night, but that was two months ago tomorrow.

Well if you decide to stay at the Hilton Garden (or even if you don't) let me know so i can put a face with a name.

I will! - ps. It seems there is no reason to attend on Sunday? The agenda is pretty sparse...

Just returned from there. Stayed in the Sheraton which is a couple of blocks from Convention Centre. Not sure of the hotel price on its own though because I booked a flights/hotel package on expedia, but overall was happy with the price.
