Both places are worth visiting if you've never been. Key West is much more funky, and St. Augustine

My elderly parents car rental st martin juliana airport are wanting car rental st martin juliana airport to go back to NO, so we are making plans to take them there. Right now, we're looking at the Omni and W Hotel, but open to suggestions. They can't walk far or handle many stairs, so we need something very well-located. Larger with amenities is probably going to trump small and charming on this trip. They'd car rental st martin juliana airport prefer a room w/ 2 beds. Any suggestions? Thanks, annie
We were just in NOLA for Mardi Gras and stayed at the Hampton Inn on Carondolet just across Canal from the FQ. The rooms were huge and I was very impressed by the service; plus breakfast was included (as was the case at Dauphine car rental st martin juliana airport Orleans when we stayed there several years ago!)
I don't think you would go wrong with either of these locations. I've also stayed in the past at Hotel Provincial, which now has a very highly rated restaurant on site...Stella!. Le Richelieu also gets rave reviews. I've never stayed car rental st martin juliana airport there, but many friends and family have and loved it.
Dauphine Orleans is a good choice. Room with 2 beds had plenty of space and was clean and comfortable. There's an elevator. Self-serve breakfast though uninspiring had lots of choices to give you a full morning meal.
Our current favorite in the French Quarter is the Royal Sonesta car rental st martin juliana airport on Bourbon. car rental st martin juliana airport The location is great, but I'm not sure whether they have two beds. You'd definitely want a room overlooking the pool rather than one on Bourbon, though.
At the main entrance on Royal there are about four gentle steps up to the lobby after you get in the doors. The Carousel car rental st martin juliana airport Bar also has about four or five steps up to it as well. The garage entrance off Bienville is has no steps and is ramped the entire way to the lobby. Gentle slope nothing too steep.
It is right across the street from Mr. B's Bistro for excellent BBQ shrimp, car rental st martin juliana airport Dickie Brennans Steak house, car rental st martin juliana airport about a block off Bourbon and Gallatoire's. car rental st martin juliana airport Coming out the front door, you are about two blocks car rental st martin juliana airport or so from the St Charles streetcar stop and a block form Canal.
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Unfortunately, both the weeks in May we were considering are completely full in NO due to conventions. Looks like we might be looking to Florida as an alternative. I may post another topic asking for suggestions in FL. thanks, annie
Agree with starrs on her suggestions...also St. Augustine has a whole lot to do. There are a couple of "hop on, hop off" trolley companies that do good tours of the area and they're quite informative.
Starrs, we went to Charleston and Savannah last year and had a wonderful time. Took many of your suggestions with us. Deb, will check out St. Augustine. We live in the midwest. I wonder if it would be too warm in Key West in mid-May?
Both places are worth visiting if you've never been. Key West is much more funky, and St. Augustine is more historical. Good restaurants can be found in both places car rental st martin juliana airport and they both have the hop on hop off trolleys.
But the two places that've been the toughest for me were NO in August car rental st martin juliana airport and September, and Charleston car rental st martin juliana airport in July/August. Until I was in Charleston last summer, I'd never been more miserable than I was in NO in August and September. However, Charleston was so humid and hot that I couldn't walk outside for more than 10 minutes. That's HUGE for me, since I'm a walking fool. Not to mention the temps were above 100 (I think...in fact, I think they were 108)
