We just needed a place for one night, reasonably priced, to see friends visiting Nola for Mardi Gras. The Royal Barracks was the perfect spot! The room was actually bigger than the picture (Garden Room), extremely clean and comfortable, and nice little touches. I had trouble getting in because I didn't understand the lock (it was pretty obvious, I was just tired) and called the number provided by the host. They answered right away and talked me through it, and also offered advice about parking. We were able to park at a meter in the Quarter a few blocks away, and walk to and from the hotel. I've been to Nola many times, usually staying with relatives Uptown, so it was a treat to stay in the Quarter, but in a quiet, private place.
