This location is convenient for my business travel. It is also close to the touristy areas BUT you will need a car. (There is a ferry to the touristy area.

“Poor location, nice hotel”

If you have business on this side of the river, its a great place to stay. If you are a tourist without a car it would be very inconvenient. We had to have a car this trip so that was not much of a problem, except on the nights we wanted to drink. Cab fare to the French Quarter ranged... More

“Large but noisy rooms, inconventient location, housekeeping issues”

At first sight, I was not disappointed: courteous welcome, prompt checkin, large and well appointed room, fast and free wifi. However second later I discovered that my room had a direct view of the motorway and that the windows were nowhere near to soundproof. The situation was actually worse than in some of the airport hotels with direct runway views... More

We stayed at this hotel before a cruise, and it suited our needs just fine. The hotel has 15 rooms on each floor in a circle around the elevators. We had a lot of noise from the highway outside and the elevators inside, so it wasn't great, but it was clean, comfortable, the parking was free, and it was close... More
