Everything is close by, if not you can take the trollies, very inexpensive all over the tourist areas. The hotel compare to other hotels is very economical and apart from hotel discounts on tours to parking near by, it only provides the basics, bed, shower and a kitchen where you cook for yourself. If you are here to enjoy New Orleans and not the hotel, this place is for you.

It was nicer than some hotels that i have stayed in. Extremely clean and had great features like a pool table and full kitchen at your disposal. I plan on staying again real soon. The beds in the dorm were comfortable and clean. The temperature was very cool which was nice after being in the heat. If I could give it an extra star i would.
