Vacations Close To River Road African American Museum

Staffing and esthetics A1

The property is in the heart of the French Quarter so an easy walk to restaurants, waterfront, Jackson Square. The room has no windows (except in the door) so is a bit dark.

It was reasonably priced, and centrally located and had parking for 50.00 per day. Once you park, it's suggested never leave that lot and walk everywhere and they were NOT wrong. There's not enough spaces to accommodate all the guests and they are always fully booked. The room was cleaned but smelled of cigarettes or something gross. Thought it's non smoking. Also, some of it is worn down a bit, the sheets were damp feeling which was the worst thing. Staff was really really nice and helpful. There is no breakfast here (though internet suggested yes there was) but there were restaurants all over. Amenities were a bottle of water and a pool nobody went in outside and some chairs in the garden area. Major TV networks were not on there. I could not find standard channels, Not even HGTV or cable "news" stations. No shop to buy necessities and neither did the neighborhood. So if you needed nail clippers you were out of luck (or moleskin or band-aids for blisters, all of which we needed ). I ended up getting a pen from a store clerk who took it out of her own purse as NONE of the stores sold them. Put tissues in the shoes for the blisters. LOL
