We attended a large conference at the convention center. It was the perfect spot for us to relax, regroup, and have some time as a group together. Walking to the Convention Center is easy - about 20 minutes, with nice breakfast options along the way. Beautiful Lower Garden neighborhood with lots of options to explore. Social Bicycles (NOLA Blue Bikes) just started and there are two racks of bikes within 2-3 blocks from this place, which provides an awesome, inexpensive alternative for getting around.
