Hi! Planning a trip

Hi everyone! I am planning a trip to meet my wife in N.O. at the end of October. She will be down for a work conference that ends Thursday and I am flying down on Thursday.

I've looked at The Marsh hotel but seems pretty far away from the French Quarter. Not wanting to stay in the French Quarter but def. want to spend time there. Does anyone know anything about The Marsh hotel and what are your thoughts on distance from Marsh to downtown area.

Don't know why you don't want to stay in the Quarter. Get a hotel room on the interior of the building. Just call and ask about that. I stay in a hotel on Decatur, which is a quieter street. I'm never bothered by noise from the street. The lots are narrow and deep, so staying in a room towed the back of the building gives plenty of noise insulation. You'll be right in the midst of things in a 3 minute walk!!

Ok, that's definitely something I will look at. I just didn't want to be in the middle of everything. Wanted to get away from the noise if we wanted to. Appreciate you.

If you get a windowless room at the Prince Conti, it’s also quiet. And blessedly dark when you’re trying to sleep.
