1. I am assuming by reading some of the one star reviews, that those people either came at a bad time, are very grumpy, or have never experienced life on Bourbon Street before.

8. But we would not go there again As it is a large conference hotel with comfortable, but also boring and badly decorated rooms with hospital lightning.

"Stay in the center of the action " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/12/2011 Vote

9. I would stay at the Royal Sonesta again ( I really do not have anything bad to say other than Tommy the bartender is awful/and rude and we had to have the keys programed several times during our stay), but I think I would stay at the Hotel Monteleone in the future.

10. The hotel is located directly on Bourbon Street, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your tolerance for the sights and smells of lots of sweat, booze, and steam.
