Title: need help with hotel locations Post by: MLB10 on December 08, 2011, 02:40:43 PM We have reservations at Causeway La Quinta in Metairie for $154 a night. It's 5 mi away but it's what was available with a good policy for cancellations. My sister has found a hotel room at the St. Charles St Quality Inn which is 1.8 mi from the Superdome plus the streetcar runs out front. It is $250 a night but the hotel looks nicer. A review online said it wasn't the best neighborhood...not like Metairie is 90210 but safety is more of a concern than swankiness. Anyone familiar with these 2 areas? We booked both but can cancel still...just need to know which is better.

There's a lot more to do in that area than in Metairie, if you don't mind the price difference.

I don't care either way but I admit I do feel better knowing that my sister's BAMAfied mercedes will be in a parking deck with a valet/security cams vs. an open lot. My crappy ride I would PRAY THEY STOLE! hahaha Will be kid of nice to catch the trolley thing and get a refresher of the sights, I guess.

In fact, I told my son I would pay for the room in Hattiesburg to help him out (not to mention the hundreds of dollars mom & dad spend on him).

I usally stay at the Hilton or Royal Sonesta, you will be ok on St Charles. Metairie is boring.

That'll give me something to laugh about while I'm waiting for the game to start. Best post yet. #+(http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/lazy-college-senior-constantly-complains-about-being-broke.jpg) Title: Re: need help with hotel locations Post by: MLB10 on December 08, 2011, 05:49:30 PM My teenager is staying in Hattiesberg for $65 a night. We recently drove through for THanksgving and we stopped at Heritage Inn in Picayune which is right near Louisiana/MS border. $49a night and it had just been renovated. The continental breakie was a joke but there was a hardee's next door. Very clean and for just spending a night en route it was an awesome deal...must call the front desk for that price, not hotels.com8) Title: Re: need help with hotel locations Post by: Catch Prothro on December 08, 2011, 11:46:09 PM We have reservations at Causeway La Quinta in Metairie for $154 a night.

The neighborhood where the St. Charles is located isn't the best, but you should be reasonably secure there. Just a few miles down the road the neighborhoods get much nicer, as you're into the garden district. And there is lots to do nearby. If it were me, I'd go for the St Charles location. |
