When I select a hotel, I try to find one that : is near public transportation, has a
microwave and refrigerator, has free breakfast, is near a
convenience store. This hotel fits all my criteria. It's
two blocks from the Canal St trolley which will take you to the casino,shops,restaurants, and the waterfront. There is also a bus that runs down Rampart St. A convenience store was a block away. I stayed in room 309. It was decent and clean. There was a walk in shower, microwave ,dishes, full size refrigerator ,and two electric burners. Breakfast was decent,although they basically had the same thing all three days of my stay. Staff was nice. Bourbon Street was about 4 blocks away. There was a nice seafood restaurant 2 blocks away on Iberville. There's a theater a block away that advertised that The Wiz and Hell's Kitchen would be premiering there soon. I didn't realize that The Mardi Gras Museum was directly across the street until hours before my flight home! I did see a few homeless folks a block away, but I didn't feel threatened. I traveled alone and I don't walk around at night. All in all I had a pleasant stay, and I would stay there again.
