Better/Nicer New Orleans Hotel

I hear the whole city has valet parking these days, wether you want it or not.

Don't go.

You win this thread.

With family, ponchatrain all day. Roosevelt downtown will be nuts and crowded.

Pontchartrain in a much better location for MG

My initial thought as well, but my concern would be more walking around at night and with the new Endymion route, the Roosevelt would be super close after we leave and also wouldn't be too far to get to Bacchus.

Normally we catch parades on ST Charles near the Expressway (across from the Popeyes).

Also, factoring in that The Pontchartrain would cost me $2,000. The Roosevelt would be free (HH points)

Why contribute anything $$$ to that cesspool of a city?

Out if those two, I would do Roosevelt. That stretch of St Charles is probably better for parades than the Pontchartrain section. Plus, you are closer to the FQ if you wanted to walk over during the day.

Somewhere in the Warehouse district would be better, if you have somewhere available.

If this is where you normally catch it then the Pontchartrain fits your bill.

I always try to get Monteleone if I'm back in the city

You’re taking your family to downtown New Orleans period much less during Mardi Gras?? Yikes. You need to really reconsider this.
