Planning to see The Man on the 20th and have never been to NOLA. Where should I stay? What part of town is good or bad? Should I stay close to English Turn? Any specific hotel recommendations?


Thanks

I always stay downtown at the Marriot. Pretty short drive to course, like 10 min. Also downtown by all the food and casino.

The RS is fine. I have a friend that stays there often.

Remember to get some sleep the night before the lesson. A hotel on Bourbon St can be trouble!

If you rent a car, make sure your hotel has somewhere to put it. Some hotels in the Quarter charge a fair amount.

I was there for a week a couple of years ago and stayed at the Loews downtown. A nice business hotel very convenient perfect location only a few blocks walking distance to French Qtr and Riverwalk. Check hotwire.com showing two downtown hotels 4-4.5 stars for under $80. You cannot beat that.

Royal Sonesta is great place to stay, or the Hotel Montelone (has a carousel bar that is always spinning.) Those are both in the heart of the French Quarter. Theres the W right next to Harrahs Casino which is contemporary and nice. Harrahs has very nice rooms as well. All areas are pretty safe. If you stay in quarter just stay on the main streets and dont wander too far.
When you go to visit Brian you will cross GNO bridge and go to the west bank to get to the Turn. You will have to take Gen. Degaulle to get there. I wouldnt bother stopping anywhere on that stretch, I grew up in that area and it has gone downhill lately. Just go straight to English Turn. Its a great golf course and area. Have fun and enjoy your lesson and stay in NOLA. If you are interested in hitting the night life, I have some suggestions for that too.
