Hey ladies - I posted here a few days ago and wanted to update you all in case you were looking for more budget friendly hotels like me.
If you can believe it I'm getting married in February and TONS of hotels are already completely sold out (and yes this is post mardi gras, superbowl and before jazz fest). . .so I decided to take care of the hotel situation this week before things got in crazier.
I got Hotel St. Marie and Prince Conti for $157 and Drury Inn and Suites for $135 (it's on Poydras about a 1/2 mile walk from our venue).
Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I found these in case anyone else was looking!
