We had a very nice visit to New Orleans when we along with 3 other couples stayed at The Natchez. The accommodations are quite clean and quiet. There's a live person manning the desk on the main floor 24/7, rather like a hotel. There are two hot tubs for the guests, one was 104 degree-ish and the other a bit cooler than that. The swimming pool is small. The location worked out great for us, 2-3 blocks from the west edge of the French Quarter and about the same distance from Harrah's which is worth at least a quick visit. There are some nice restaurants near The Natchez. I'd definitely consider staying here again.
