There's a full range of prices when booking a room in New Orleans and sometimes it's a tough call. Spend money on the finest accommodations when you're too busy whooping it up around town to enjoy the room? Or pinch pennies and risk shoddy service or uh, sleeping among the roaches? Here's a look at eight downtown hotel options, from the ultra-luxe to pretty dang affordable. To keep things consistent, all prices come from the hotels' websites and reflect what it costs for one person to stay in a downtown hotel room with a king-size bed. So as not to run into any crazy spring festival pricing (hi, French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest) or cheap summer rates, the prices are for the night of October 16, 2014.
