Best Things Nearby:
Casino, Riverwalk, Emeril's, French Quarter, Aquarium, dozens of restaurants and bars

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort did not offer much due to the main attractions all within walking distance. The resort is very clean, the service is exceptional, and the people there are very friendly. This resort does have a hot tub/jacuzzi, but I was so outdone by the festivities the city had to offer that we were barely at the resort.

Resort Experience:
New Orleans is very exciting if you enjoy having a good, laid-back time and you love the bar scene. This will actually be one of the wildest vacations to remember. On the other hand, you can get worn out from all the parties, but then you engage yourself into the tours and exquisite dining. One of my favorite resturants was Emeril's.

Best Things About the Resort:
Location, quaint atmosphere

Resort Experience:
This is a very interesting resort, as it is a refurbished fire station that was built in 1870. We were in a first-floor studio that was small, but okay for the two of us. The only drawback was the size of the bathroom, which was tiny by any standards. However, everthing else about the property was great. The employees were very accommodating and helpful. They went out of their way to help out, i.e., we called a week before our arrival and asked them to make reservations at Emeril's for us. When we arrived, the reservations had been made for the date and time we had asked for, and a note had been posted for all the desk clerks to give us the message. Not that this is a big deal, but it sure set the tone for the rest of our stay. If you are going to New Orleans and you would like a quaint old place to stay, I would recommend The Plaza Suites. P.S. They do have larger units, but they are harder to get.

The only resort amenitiy is a hot tub, but with the city of New Orleans outside, there was no need for the extras. The rooms are small but nicely decorated.

Resort Experience:
Old world charm in this old firehouse. The room we had on the third floor had a large main bedroom and a loft bedroom. The kitchen and dining area were small but not a problem for breakfast and lunch. Continental breakfast three days a week. A small condo, no more than 30 units, but very comfortable and close to everything.

Best Things About the Resort:
Beautifully refurbished fire house. Nice common area with sofas, TVs, etc.

Resort Experience:
The rooms are small, but nicely furnished, with much exposed brick from its previous life. We were in the original section the first night, but the floorboard squeaked terribly from the unit overhead making it difficult to sleep. Must have been a 500 pound gorilla or something. The manager nicely switched us to another unit in the newer section and it was even more beautiful. Chandeliers, overhead fans etc. Most units do not have windows, but we did not mind it at all.
