I strongly believe repeat guests should be recognized with WELCOME BACK. If you decide to give a guest a handicapped room (that they didn’t ask for), at least let them know that when you hand them the key, and ask if that’s okay. Parking here sucks. Had a great meal and drinks in Bayou Bar.

A good taste of New Orleans
The Pontchartrain is a fun place to stay, very New Orleans. The atmosphere is a little chaotic and the rooms are a bit tired, but that is all part of the charm. The rooftop bar is amazing at sunset and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Gorgeous, historic, beautiful, wonderful hotel. Definitely a destination even if you are not staying there - the restaurant and rooftop bar and live Jazz music were incredible. It was a very nice quiet place to stay, since it is in the Garden district rather than downtown. The trolley stops right outside the hotel. Need to uber to downtown New Orleans, though, unless you are up for a long (beautiful) walk. On the plus side, Uber drivers in Nola are like 2nd tour guides - very friendly and informative.
