Jazz Fest is prime-time, like Mardi Gras. You will pay for prime-time. Slidell will also have, most likely, increased rates, but much better than in the city, along with greater availability.

It is not a bad drive in to the Fair Grounds if you are looking to go to that on Friday or Sunday.

Thanks for the info

I checked hotel st marie where we stayed last time we visited NO prices were OK didn't notice the 3 day minimum. However now we are thinking hotel closer to Frenchman street, we don't do bourbon street...etc & we don't plan on going to fest. We like Frenchman Street

Staying in Slidell is certainly an option.
