The parking lot across the street from the hotel ( P151) is privately owned & has been the scene of vandalized cars for the past two weeks. The hotel has no control over this. My suggestion would be to off load your luggage and then go to one of the enclosed lots within walking distance to be a little safer. Otherwise the location is great. Art galleries & popular restaurants are within walking distance. On Sunday morning, I easily walked to Cafe du Monde for coffee & beignets. Did not visit the French Quarter, so I can't say if the walk is easy.
