This boutique hotel goes by The Plaza or something to that effect. It was a nice place set-up like an apartment but with a hotel-feel basically on the same block as the casino, a couple blocks from the convention center, a few more blocks to the riverwalk/outlet shops, and about a 20-min walk to the middle of the French Quarter. I also walked to Lafayette Cemetery/Commander's Palace in 40-min and felt safe as a woman walking alone during the day time. There are obviously a ton of restaurants and bars around too. The place/hotel felt secure and the doors were locked/need key to access the building after dark.
The staff were really great and told me how to get places, helped me unjam the vending machine, and held my bag for me after check-out for the day. I think this place cost me about 50% less than nearby hotels, so it was most certainly a great bargain. The wi-fi worked well and it has a mini-fridge and a dishwasher and a full coffee pot with coffee. The only thing I really could complain about but won't is that the tap water didn't come out very cold. However, there was an ice machine and I just kept a bunch of water in the fridge.
