Great location on Magazine street. Much more of a local experience then a hotel. Fat Boy Pantry down the street-low priced unique super causal lunch, Gris -Gris Happy Hour $1.00 wings, The Saint dive bar around the corner if you dare (turned out to be harmless 3:00 am Karaoke fun if you are up for it). St Charles trolley short walk to go to French 1/4 or sight seeing . A great base for exploring New Orleans if you don't need hotel amenities.
