French Quarter

[Gilbert]

Where have you stayed and did you like it?

[duckboy007]

Stayed at several of the different chains along canal street, they're all fine. Is suggest not staying near the convention center, not a fan of that walk back.

What's your hotel budget? Makes a big difference down there.

IN the French Quarter:

Best Western Bourbon *
Holiday Inn **
Dauphine Orleans **
Prince Conti Hotel ***
Bourbon Orleans ****
Royal Sonesta ****
Hotel Monteleone *****

Not far away
Windsor Court Hotel ******

None of these are bad. Even 1 star that I gave the Best Western is a respectable rating. High price will usually reflect my high ratings. Yes, I did indeed give 6 out of 5 stars to the Windsor Court, but it is VERY high end. Best value is the Prince Conti in my opinion. If you get a room on Bourbon or a side street and you want any sleep, ask for an interior or court yard room. (Royal Sonesta court yard rooms are AWESOME.) I'm a cheap arse with most things, but now and then I have splurged. Oh, it's so nice to splurge on a great hotel room.

In my truck...looking at a Jax Beer sign and 20 bums asking me for money!

holiday inn or hilton on canal. doesnt really matter, you wont be in your room much anyway.

I used to live over there, and we would always stay a Dauphine Orleans. It's great, and you can crawl back to your room early in the morning. Just watch out for the street washing trucks!

Hotel Monteleone has always been my favorite...........one of the best older bars in town with a lot of charm !

I like this location by Lee Circle, not too far from the quarter and on the trolly line to go uptown.
