Looked for a place near the convention center, and Fleur De Lis Mansion B&B came up. Similarly proximate hotels were running about $275 a night. Unfortunately, no one room was available through the days of my stay. Lauren offered to put me in three different rooms for my four night stay. I wasn't terribly enthused about moving somewhere else almost every morning, but I agreed. In hindsight, this gave me a unique chance to see the spectrum of rooms in a very short time. River suite for two nights, then the Fleur De Lis, then Jazz. River suite was quaintly large and most authentically old mansion style: two upstairs rooms with cool skylights that I never used, brick walls with perhaps century+ old plaster, generous portions of which had fallen off long ago. Fleur de Lis was best. Loved the six head "party shower". Spent the last night in the Jazz room. Just fine. All beds had memory foam toppers which I liked. Internet speed was actually--and importantly for me--above average if you made sure to connect to the nearest access point. Just a short jaunt to French Truck Coffee where I had the best espresso drinks I have ever had in the South, and filled up a loyalty card in just a few days.
