If this is your first time in NOLA then perhaps stay a little closer to the river in heart of city. If you are a regular visitor, this is a nice, clean, place to stay, with lots of nice extras.
Positive points:
- clean and comfortable - all the rooms and bathrooms were immaculate
- plenty of room for group of 5-6
- lots of places to store your bits and plenty of towels
- good security system (maybe over the top but may make some people feel more comfortable)
- lots of lovely extras like toiletries, coffee pods, laundry facilities, snacks. Nice touches.
-7th ward is a neighbourhood inhabited by locals (not just tourists) and the neighbours are pleasent and quiet (although we didn't spend much time hanging about as too much to do and see!)
- Not so far from Kermit's Mother-in-law Lounge!
- Good WiFi
- Fair price for the location
For some people these points may not work for them:
- On the lake side of where North Claiborne Ave turns into a bigger wider main road. This makes it really hard to cross on foot and about a 30-40min walk to main part of Frenchmen Street. If I stayed again I would rent bikes for the week as that would make it super quick to get into the heart of the city.
- Ubers and Lyfts have gotten more expensive than in previous visits which adds a bit more cost to move around the city from this location.
- Not a good local bodega or little shop walking distance to get some grocery bits, so again, bikes would make that much easier.
Thanks for everything!
