The Quisby was so clean, comfortable, and pleasant to stay at I can't wait to come back, even though it's "just" a hostel and there's a zillion hotels to choose from.
I flew to New Orleans a day early for a wedding to save a lot of money and crashed at The Quisby for a night before everyone arrived and we checked into the wedding party block at a major hotel downtown.
The Quisby was so nice I was sorry to leave! And when I volunteered to get bumped from my overbooked flight on Sunday to leave Monday instead, I regret taking United up on a free stay at the La Quinta by the airport -- it was so filthy and noisy I should have eaten the $35/night + $70 in taxi fees to and from the airport to stay at The Quisby again.
At least then I could have enjoyed The Quisby's complimentary breakfast and mimosa that actually I felt safe eating.
Thanks especially to the friendly and fun hostess Angel (I'm sorry if I am getting their name wrong), I had a blast chatting.
