I tried to add this to one of the older threads but they were all closed. Looks like Sheraton has announced the (re)opening date of the Sheraton Riverside Hotel, former Pontchartrain hotel.

Their web site shows a price of $109.00 per night for 1 king bed over Thanksgiving weekend.

"$109.00 per night"

That is really really cheap for a downtown hotel any time of the year. Seems good to hear though.

that's a very low end room...they have them as high as $324 for that same weekend...

CP, why is that good? You should want higher prices, not lower...the higher the prices, the more tax revenue for the city

Lower prices should mean more visitors, especially those who aren't on corporate budgets. A cheap rate will get someone who is on the fence about staying downtown to stay downtown. I'd rather have more people on the street and at our events/festivals: more positive spinoff than a simple tax benefit skimmed off the top of a costly room rate.
