You might want to try and see what they have in the french quarter. But you wont find anything cheap that week unless you go outside the french quarter.

It turns in to Bourbon street and I know for the off season rooms go for 71.00 a night. Or try Park St Charles. It is about four blocks from Canal Street and the trolley passes in front of the hotel. On the off season rooms go for 69.00 a night. Good luck Try the Holiday inn express on Carondalette. It turns in to Bourbon street and I know for the off season rooms go for 71.00 a night.

Most places raise their rates for that event and you would be hard pressed to find anything if you wait much longer. Many places are booked a year in advance. I don’t think there is such a thing.

There are only 4 hotels actually on Bourbon Street (Astor, Royal Sonesta, Ramada Inn on Bourbon, Bourbon-Orleans) and none of them are cheap. Anywhere in the Central Business District or the French Quarter will be within walking distance of Bourbon Street/the rest of the French Quarter. Search the travel sites (airgorilla, orbitz, travelocity, etc) and also check the hotel sites. Go to for some non-chain properties. You may need to search the period of 19 or 20 to 24 February separately as that is the height of the season and hotels tend to insist on selling those dates as a block. Call the hotels yourself if you can't get clear results from their websites (all or almost all of them have toll-free numbers). Finally, go to for more info on Carnival in New Orleans, and be sure to look through the FAQ section. Good luck!
