This is a good place to stay if you are not going to be home much for your time in the city. It was clean and nice inside and felt safe. I definitely think having a garage to park in at night was a huge plus. It was a bit noisy. And sometimes you hear people in the neighborhood. You are right on a busy street and directly next to a motorcycle shop. But if you walk a bit in the other direction you will find some good places to eat and a grocery store. Its a short drive to The French quarter and that was nice. Everything is pretty close.
