I'd actually put the Iberville CY above the JW, and the Perr Marquette before the Marriott New Orleans, but those weren't on your list. The JW being the same cost as the CY puts the CY out of contention, and the JW is worth and extra ten a night over the FS. With the others, you may save on the hotel, but you lose more than that in time value getting back and forth to the French Quarter and other tourist spots.

One more thing... after you make the reservation at the JW, go to the LNF thread and see if any of the awesome people who frequent that thread can help you get an even better rate through LNF. It's worth a try. There is nothing to lose. And many of those people are amazing at finding a better rate.
