1. The outdoor pool was fabulous and I won't stay anywhere else, it is close enough to catch the action for anything, but far enough to retreat and hang on the balcony for a couple cocktails while enjoying the sounds, smells and tastes NOLA has to offer.

7. In my opinion, this is the best part of the French Quarter because it's close enough to walk to just about everything, yet far enough removed that you don't get all of the noise and horse poo smell of Bourbon Street.
