Independence Vacation Packages

This hotel was quite artsy. The room was clean. It was nice having a coffee shop in the lobby but I would have liked to have a coffee maker in the room. All of the staff we encountered were friendly. Parking is expensive if you go through the hotel so we found our own free parking.

Location was convenient. Condo was clean. Few steps from Canal, super close to French Quarter!

I wish I could live here. This was one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The staff are pleasant, friendly, and helpful. The hotel shop is incredibly reasonable and convenient, which is a nice plus. The rooms are amazing, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and clean! Such a nice, pleasant stay. Even more impressive, is the fact that you can walk to the French Quarter and One Direction or the garden district the other. The Best of Both Worlds, you can experience the touristy attractions and then to go to local dining and shops. Amazing. Love love love. The world war 2 museum is amazing! I cannot wait to return.

Let’s start with the good: the staff here is very nice, and the location is fantastic in terms of being central. You’re next to a 24hr convenience store and ATM, a block into the French Quarter and walkable to all of that, and a block from Canal Street for easy Uber rides without having to make them drive into the Quarter. The rooms are clean, and have a cute little “living room” area and kitchenette with microwave, sink, and fridge. But the Queen beds are a bit small — definitely hard with my 6’5” husband. And there’s a small desk on one side of the bed, when 2 night tables would be more useful (so both people could put a water by the bed, for example). The beds are fine in terms of comfort — although the pillows do feel more like hard cotton balls than the ones you get at a nice hotel. The biggest complaint I had was the noise. The photos online show this place as being on a quiet side street with pretty balconies facing the street. Our room faced the alley, was always dark (and yes I know you don’t spend your day in the room, but it’s nice to wake up to light) — and had the loudest alley noise at 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am, etc. Garbage trucks, some sort of other trucks, more garbage trucks, workers rolling trash cans into the alley to dump bottles, etc. One of the hardest times I’ve had sleeping in New Orleans in 10 years of coming here unfortunately.

Loved the stay & the Staff !!!
