Thoughts on Hotel Mazarin?

We were in NOLA last weekend and stayed at the Marquette house. I think I need something a little more upscale for the wife and I.

    jaltmyer, thanks!

    I have been to NOLA quite a few times but it's been a few years (my sisters used to live in Lafayette). Which Marriott would you recommend? Looks like there are a few right on Canal or near Bourbon Street. Thanks!

    Is it a safe walk between the Hyatt in Poydras and the theater? My hubby helped finance the Hyatt reconstruction so he wants to stay there.

    Im bringing the wife as well. She still hasn't let me live down this summer and the 5 shows I went to without her. Going to make it up to her with these shows. Never seen D+T and Radio City is like her second favorite album of all time.

    That place is beautiful, be sure to walk down Bourbon to Canal to walk to the Saenger.

    The one on Canal is what I meant to say in my initial post. That and the Sheraton across the street, which is a little nicer IMO.

    If you're going to walk stay on Loyola (day light is fine), but I would cab that path at night time.

    Thanks. Tripadvisor says #1 in NOLA. They have a promotion for 10% off so I got two nights for right about $300. Seems fair and it's less than a half mile from venue and a freaking block from Bourbon street.

    You're in for a treat, BFFer.

    The first time I saw them was at UConn in 1999 - blown away. Also caught them at the Appalachian State University show (Live Trax 26) in 2003, UMass 2003, UMass 2007, AC & Randall's Island Caravans 2011, then at the United Palace Theater in 2011.

    I'm due for another... waaaahhhh I just don't know if I can swing this. UGHHHH!

    This will be a good way to suck up, I mean make it up, to her. Megan's favorite is radio city as well, so they have that in common. (I'm partial to luther). But I'm so excited for this!

    You lucky duck. I'm jealous! I saw them at Randalls though!

    You CAN swing it, and you will. Just like Hank will. You both just don't know it yet.

    I thought about the same thing. I think odds are better to snag a premium package but I can't handle the $500 cost when my credit cards are still begging to be paid off from Summer tour. Going to take my chances with the regular requests.

    The Rennaisance is on Common, 1 block off Canal, are you saying thats a sketchy area?

    This talk about sketchy areas is making me reconsider my hotel. Is anyone else considering the Queen & Crescent Hotel on Camp St.? I travel alone and staying in a sketchy place is not on my list of favorite things to do.

    I just booked that place via booking.com. It'll be my backup if I can't score something better using Priceline's name your own price.

    Yea, I'm keeping my reservation until maybe a better deal pops up somewhere else. Or unless someone else confirms this to be an okay place to stay. I'm not renting a car, so I have to walk everywhere and I really don't want to get, oh I don't know, killed or robbed on the way to my hotel.

    Yea. I totally understand. My g/f would kill me if this place is a dump or in a less than favorable part of town. I'm sure someone will chime in here soon enough.
