How can I get cheap hotels in New Orleans?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in New Orleans

If you're looking to travel to New Orleans on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $52. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $153. Staying a short amount of time in New Orleans is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in New Orleans, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in New Orleans, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in New Orleans, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

5/5 Excellent

"We were definitely impressed with the hotel and the atmosphere. We had some initial apprehension to staying in the French quarter due to reports of homeless people all around. Honestly, they really weren’t bothersome. They are hungry- they ask and if told no, they walk away. So I supported a few local people with a snack or heck a drink. They are people. But the hotel was everything we expected and more. It is an absolutely beautiful hotel. They employees were on top of it and if you needed something they took care of it. It is so close to everything. We will be back for sure!!"
