The Best Western is a couple of miles to the northwest of the French Quarter in a rather depressed section of town with little ambience and no nearby restaurants or bars. The hotel’s only saving grace is that it offers a free shuttle to the French Quarter, however you usually have to catch a cab back in the evenings since the shuttle doesn’t run very late and only makes two pickups a day. The hotel does have a rather small pool and a Jacuzzi, but your money is better spent at more traditional hotel like the French Quarter Courtyard or a classier high-rise hotel like the Marriott. The location of this hotel just stinks, but it’s cheap at about $70 per night. Stay here only if your budget keeps you from staying anywhere else.
