If you haven't already got a place. They have standard rooms, and for 10-20 more, rooms that are almost apartments. Best thing, though, it's close enough to walk to the French Quarter places but far enough away to be quiet and not find puke in the gutters every morning.

I've been there several times, and was there 4 years ago for a meeting. Our group took one of the double-decker bus tours. It is a fun way to get some local info and see the city.

There are so many good restaurants, in the tourist area and out in the local parts of town. My favorites are Paul Prudhomme's place and the Court of Two Sisters. https://www.courtoftwosisters.com/ If you can get a reservation for the inner courtyard, it is such a great dinner experience.

I also thought https://stanleyrestaurant.com/menu/ was a great place for breakfast near Jackson Square

https://www.wakinbakin.com/ was a good local place for breakfast, and a couple other local places. Honestly, every restaurant there is good.

And this one, https://ghostcitytours.com/new-orleans/haunted-places/muriels-restaurant/ was one of my favorite in the French Quarter. It's supposed to be haunted, and they have a table set aside for the ghost. We never saw anything unusual, but the food is excellent.

Personally, as good as the tourist area places are, if you can go to local places around town, do so. It will not only be every bit as good, but a lot cheaper. I always try to go to local joints whenever possible.
