Uptown Hotels ...

[sr]

besides the Hampton Inn on St Charles, are there any other 'recommended' hotels close to campus? I've always found the Hampton Inn great for when I visit for baseball at Turchin - but they're booked for the first weekend series. Any other suggestions? Never fond of the drive back to the quarter after a few pops at the ball park.
Thanks.

You might try the Hampton Inn in Elmwood. Pretty much a straight shot down Claiborne/Jeff Hwy or River Road.

Other options Uptown would be the Ramada (or what used to be a Ramada) at St. Charles/Jackson or the Best Western next to Superior Grill. The Columns Hotel aslo has rooms.

The Columns Hotel aslo has rooms.

Who knew, right? I love this city.

There's also a bed and breakfast on St. Charles across from Gibson/next to Audubon, but I can't remember the name. And the Hotel Pontchartrain is somewhere in the Garden District too.[/i]

I think you mean the Parkview Guest House. It's convenient. That's about all you can say for that place.

The Ponchartrain is undergoing "renovations." But it's disconcertingly quiet.

is another option. In Garden District (obviously) on Magazine just below Washington. Nice people.
