We stayed in the updated version of the hotel. So you aren’t getting the “old building” vibes that the pictures show, but the room was clean and comfortable. There is a full kitchen if you plan on preparing anything at all (hope you aren’t because there is waaaaay to many good places to eat). The location is dead center of everywhere you are going to want to go. Harrahs is a block away and the streetcars and busses go right by this location. Access to the location is very easy and the attendants are very personable. I highly recommend if you are planning a stay like us where you will spend your entire day in NOLA and only returning to the hotel to sleep.
FYI. No parking, so expect to pay $25-$30 a night for parking.
