A most excellent stay
Chose this hotel because of competitive pricing and amenities when compared to the boutique hotels in the French Quarter. Hotel is a short walk from French Quarter, close to restaurants and bars, and close to grocery store.

Good option
The hotel is great, the furniture looks new.
The breakfast is good
The only thing that we did not like was the bathroom, the door does not cover the area and you wash your hands next to the bed

Business Trip to New Orleans
My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn New Orleans-French Quarters. We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, the ac worked very well, and it was very easy to call the front desk with questions or concerns. The hotel was in walking distance to Canal St., Jackson Square, and the River walk. It was very accessible to restaurants,
