Baton Rouge Hotels
« on: November 20, 2011, 01:11:43 AM »
Anyone have some insight on the hotels for Baton Rouge.  I found a couple which are right next to the River Center, but didn't know what else was within walking distance to the River Center.  Thanks in advance.
 
 


Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

That $79 claim must be for a group rate. I just went to the website and was quoted $109 as the lowest rate.

Lefty,

I found the exact same thing as you. I'm not a paid endorser either.....but mybowlingvacations.com saved me almost $50/night at the Crowne Plaza....from the rate quoted directly from the CP website. Booked my room immediately.

I've used USBC travel twice in the last 20 years of tournaments and both times were a disaster. Ever since, I always found better and/or very competitive rates by booking direct. Also, I tend to stay at Marriott properties to add points. This year, for the first time ever, mybowlingvacation seems to be significantly cheaper ($30-70) per night than the Marriott web site. I've never seen that. I REALLY don't want to use mybowlingvacation.com if I can avoid it. Just curious, Is anyone seeing the same price difference with other brands?

Belive it or not, some hotels charge more for weekends than weekday, even for special events.  Happened to me in Reno last year.

This may help out everyone.
 
I ended up booking at the Microtel (#38), east of downtown & it's near the 40 Frame Game.

Just Pricelined the Courtyard by the Acadian Center for 55/night and about 260 overall for the 4 nights. Can't beat that deal...

Changed my travel arrangments recently since I am not going to drive and found an excellent deal on mybowlingvacation.com for my wife and I.  $1004.00 grand total for both of us, round trip air from Albuquerque, NM to Baton Rouge on American Airlines with one stop in Dallas each way and 4 night at The Crown Plaza nearest the River Center(also includes free breakfast buffet each morning).  No rental car, since my friends are driving down and we are all staying at the same hotel.

 

Mybowlingvacation.com beat all the online places (expedia, priceline, cheaptickets.com, orbitz and a few others) by an average of $300-$350 at the time I booked my trip.

I just booked the Ramada Inn (10045 Gwendale) 6 miles from downtown for $55.00/night on Hotels.com.  Reviews were favorable and I stayed in the same vicinity last time and was fairly happy with it.  It is off of I-12 and Airline.  With taxes and everything for 4 nights, I am paying $255.00 and that is with no rewards points or anything.
