I like that the hotel was blocks away from food, entertainment, convenience store, and city transportation. There was a bus station on the corner, streetcar station out the front door, blocks from tourist area, simple walk to Superdome and Smoothie king center, and no real need for a rental car. That brings me to what I did NOT like- $80 incidental PER night to help with the near $60 regular sized car parking and $65 for larger vehicles at the hotel. My 4 night stay put a hold of, $320 immediately on my card, before even getting near the elevator. The vallet guys were great even though we didnt use them. They joked, gave directions and advice and they were damnnear 7ft tall! The pool- didn't like the set up nor size so i didn't even get in. Would I stay again? Yes BUT only if i cant find anything better or amenities aren't a concern. Oh, speaking of amenities...there is a pool table (free) in the front of the hotel. That was nice.
