sfristoe Posted April 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Has anyone stayed at the Best Western Plus French Quarter in New Orleans on Rampart recently? Reviews on Hotels dot com are mostly good. Is it walking distance to things like Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, etc.? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_k63 Posted April 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2012 There are several BW hotels in New Orleans. If you go to bestwestern.com and search for NOLA - the top 3 are within blocks of Bourbon Street and the one on Rampart is closest. My wife works for BW ( not in Nola - here in Tx) so I'm pretty sure that is where we will stay, but I'm aggravated at how expensive the parking is. NO cruise packages the last I heard. WE may stay at BW-Landmark in Metarie - 7 miles from downtown and free parking for the length of the cruise. I like Best Westerns. Have a great cruise!

The area on Rampart is not an area I personally would walk around(at night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in New Orleans the night before our cruise and need a good restaurant suggestion for dinner. Then we will have until around 3pm on Monday after our cruise to hang out. Any restaurant or activity suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endymion6942 Posted May 2, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Figure out which hotel you are staying at and I will give you 2 or 3 suggestions that are a short walk from your hotel. Unless you are driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvosu1 Posted May 2, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hows the Drury Inn? We will be there two days pre-cruise and want to be able to walk to the French Quarters and restarunts at all hours is this a good location to do this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pretty good location. Some my friend stayed there during Mardi Gras and they liked it. I understand they have a cruise package. I know it is very popular with people going on a cruise.
