“Nice for short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Our family of 4 stayed one night on our way home to Houston from Orlando. Our room was clean, comfortable and very quiet. The room has fridge, microwave, safe deposit box. Rate is reasonable with free parking, a short walk from the hotel. The street car is right in front of the hotel for a 30 minutes ride to french quarter for $1.25 per person. At around 6:30pm, we only had to wait 5 minutes for another car but around 10:00pm, the wait was exactly 30 minutes. Four family of 4, we did not find any cost or time saving buy taking the street car. We just did it for the experience.

“Best Western St. Charles”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Thought this hotel did a great job for my one night stay. Did not get to check out much other than internet access (worked great!), the room (clean and comfortable) and the breakfast which I thought had a very good variety.

The parking lot was full but since I arrived so late I was allowed to leave my car out front which was quite handy the next morning.

As well, the trolly stop is extremely close and distance to the French Quarter was only about 10 minutes by car.

I would stay here again, no problem.

Room Tip: I supposed the rooms facing St. Charles could be noisy but nice and quiet on the parking lot side.

“Nice Enough for a Short Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The building could definitely use a facelift on the interior, but it's plenty nice for a short stay. They offer a free breakfast, but I didn't try it; it's probably about the same as most others like it - good enough, but nothing exciting. My room was clean & comfortable & the parking was secure.
Don't expect too much & you'll be okay. For the location & price, it's kind of hard to beat.

Room Tip: Ask for a room towards the back & you'll be spared the noises of St. Charles Avenue. I used...

“Great value in a unique city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Spent 5 days in New Orleans for a mini vacation and a wedding.Hotel was just a 20 minute streetcar ride (fare is $.40 for seniors) to the French Quarter and nearby tourist locations. One of the very few hotels that had free parking. Rooms were clean, average continental breakfast, friendly staff, great chocolate chip cookies and lemonade in the afternoon. Superior Mex restaurant next door.

“Nice hotel, but there are some faults”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We spent four days in New Orleans and booked this hotel via Hotwire (so only got the name once we had booked). Although it wasd comfortable and clean, with a good continental breakfast, there were some faults that I should point out.

Firstly, the location. If you are preferring to stay nearer the French Quarter and the main action of the city, this probably isn't the best hotel for you. To walk to the French Quarter is about an hour, although saying this, there is a street car stop right outside the hotel which takes you up to Canal Street in about 15 minutes. The street car can get quite busy though and in once instance it took us half an hour by the street car to get back to the hotel which eats up into your precious holiday time!

Secondly, we had a room which was nice and big, and had two windows as it was in the corner, however, the room was not soundproofed in anyway, so we heard the traffic (streetcars are very noisy) as well as any other sounds from outside. In addition, the room was right next door to a service cupboard and we repeatedly got woken up at 6.30am by the cleaning staff. This is not what you want on your holiday!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and there is a great restaurant next door to the hotel (Superior Grill) which does great Mexican Food and Mohitos!

Room Tip: Don't take a corner room! Size does not make up for being woken up in the mornings!
