According to our fishing guide, Jimmy, this is a hot spot for dining in the Port Sulphur area…read more I give this restaurant a 3.5. We stopped in here late one afternoon to give it a try. You'll find a few dining tables on the small outside deck and limited seating inside. It has the feel of a double wide trailer turned into a restaurant. What we enjoyed: *Fried shrimp and oysters were good *Gumbo was delicious *Crab cake was good but I thought the accompanying cheese sauce wasn't needed. Some reviewers love it and so does our fishing guide. The white cheese sauce seems more more like a Queso cheese dip at your local Mexican restaurant. What we didn't care for: *Toasted sandwich bread served with the shrimp/oysters *The side of fries *The foul mouthed employees. I agree with reviewer Holly B on this one.

Hey, if you're visiting New Orleans try out a day or 3 in the Mississippi Delta. The Le Matidora…read moreInn is the RT66 place to stay near the Big Easy. Located between Hwy 23 & Hwy 11 in history rich Plaquemines Parish on the Mississippi River. It's a 15 min. private flight or 1.5 hr. drive south from New Orleans. It's a moderately priced good 'ole southern fish camp style operation very close to Tuna Town (Venice, Louisiana). Venice is where the Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico - great for inshore & offshore saltwater fishing. Le Matidora will appeal to everyone from fishers to business travelers. To me, Le Matidora Inn is part of my life-long Great American Road Trip. It allows me to dip into a southern delta side-order of American life. Here are facility details: Le Matidora Inn is a converted residence with a unique 1st floor wood paneled common kitchen, entertainment & bar area for self-serve food prep. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking the fish you caught and other meals and crafting cocktails. The 2nd floor has updated rooms with a southern style balcony. Private cabins are available for groups. Outside is the salt water pool and a large lounge area for relaxing after a day on the Gulf. Bottom-line - a retro southern vibe with all the hi-tech necessities you will need. Now the fun stuff: Owner Malcolm Lincoln ("TMac") will fly you to & from the Inn. It's 15 minutes from New Orleans. TMac gave me a fly around of the city for a view from 1,500 ft. Private & General Aviation pilots can land & taxi right to the Inn. Get details from T-Mac or Rosemary 504-564-9300. Airport ID LS84. They are like family! Let's Talk Plaquemines: Nearby dining includes great seafood (oysters and crab cakes!) at Thompson's Kitchen, Port Sulfur. When at Venice Marina the Cajun egg rolls, cheese sticks & extra oysters complimented the Margaritas. On the water: Jonathan Ruffin/Venice Charters & his nephew Dylan took us 70 miles out at 5,000 ft. depth - a pair of Metairie firemen who drive a 32' Contender like a Maserati fire truck. Tuna, Rainbow Runners & Barricuda dominated our day. Everyone needs to see up close the big oil rigs on the Gulf - oil rigs are artificial reefs that are full of baitfish & larger gamefish. Also, salute the roughnecks onboard these engineering marvels - they are the first step in fueling our economy and our boats so we can slay 'em. USA!!!

We arrived a little early, so our room wasn't quite ready, but the valet staff immediately helped unload our car and brought everything into the lobby. The woman at the front desk was incredibly warm and accommodating, offering to store our bags and have them delivered to our room once it was ready. She also took the time to recommend local spots for food and sightseeing, steering us toward some real New Orleans gems rather than tourist traps. While waiting, we explored the hotel itself, and that alone was worth the trip. As an author with a deep love for Art Deco design, I was completely captivated. Every corner of The Eliza Jane tells a story. The library area, with its timeless charm, and the intricate architectural details throughout the first floor made it feel like stepping into a beautifully restored piece of history. The courtyard was lovely and full of character, though it was a bit warm that time of year, so we didn't linger long. Still, it was easy to imagine spending a quiet morning there with coffee on a cooler day. When we finally stepped into our suite, it took my breath away. From the elegant foyer to the inviting living room, serene bedroom, and luxurious bathroom: every detail had been thought through with care and sophistication. Our bags were already waiting for us, perfectly placed in the foyer. I remember thinking, "This hotel may have ruined all others for me." The level of comfort, design, and hospitality truly set a new standard. Later that evening, we stopped back down for dinner suggestions. The gentleman at the desk gave us excellent recommendations for places locals actually love. It felt like having an insider's guide to the city. And then there was the shower room. Spacious, serene, and complete with a soaking tub...it was the highlight of the suite and the perfect way to unwind after exploring the city. You can see it for yourself in my photos and video, but trust me, it's even more beautiful in person. The Eliza Jane combines timeless elegance, thoughtful service, and authentic New Orleans charm in a way few hotels ever manage. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I return.

They even recognized that it was my birthday and offered us two complimentary cocktails, which was such a thoughtful touch. The Carousel Bar is absolutely stunning and one of our favorite spots in New Orleans. The location, atmosphere, service, and hospitality are hard to beat. We love Hotel Monteleone and honestly won't stay anywhere else when we're in New Orleans!

I stayed at the Hotel Monteleone for two nights…read more The first morning, I got wake-up calls at 5:30 a.m., 5:32 a.m., and 5:36 a.m. I had not requested wake-up calls. Later, I discovered that 100% of the hotel received these wake-up calls. That's pretty terrible, especially waking up that early after a night in New Orleans. That's 90% of my complaints about the hotel, but I do have others. The carousel was not working in the Carousel Bar. The hotel room bathroom was very, very small. You could hear a lot of street noise even from the 11th floor. Would I stay at the Hotel Monteleone again? I've stayed there a few times in the past, but I would think three times before staying there again.

It was truly a love letter to the city, full of colorful, unique, and creative art exhibitions, all made out of recycled materials (which I found to be impressive and admirable)! There was a curated playlist of amazing jazz music playing throughout, which really set the tone delightfully! Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the space and there was a personable and helpful guide who described the space, then led us into the opening rooms. The first one was blue with neon pink, green, and glowing, with letters, symbols, and TV screens, comprising of one big puzzle. The next is a long hallway of hot pink with blue detailing and lights throughout, along with cool protruding, spongy shapes representing organs on the walls. Very psychedelic vibes! This led into a large space with sculptures of a larger than life alligator mouth open wide, creature atop a huge pot with the words "Stir the Pot," crawfish, tall lily pads, insect jazz band, peacock and more. There was also a cool, pretty flower wall, and upon closer inspection, I discovered they were made out of records. From there, I headed upstairs to see the blue, purple, and pink room holding the gorgeous Fountain of Youth glowing bright blue, filled with gold coins in them for wishes. The ceiling was lush and leafy with a lovely hanging light, as well as a pearly oyster shell inspired one. In addition, there was a shotgun style house with a balcony we could go in. Back downstairs, I explored a bar neon colored words related to New Orleans all over the walls, with upside down piano & drinks. Next, I checked out a decorative white a black room, featuring a glowing green stand. With the press of a button, it turned the room disco-y blue with a glow in the dark effect. After that, I went into the beautiful Desire themed room with humongous pearl structures hanging down, where you can write and release your true desires. Such a dreamy, ethereal feel to this one! There was a little sleek and sexy speakeasy space, called Candlelight Lounge. Then was one of my favorite exhibits: Feast Mode, displaying glittery New Orleans culinary delight classics in true indulgent style, as well as super funky, fun paintings and art pieces. Near this room was a window with full of shiny, delicately constructed objects of vibrant colors representing New Orleans. This was a glitzy video opp with props offered, with the phone going in the center, spinning around and capturing us dancing, shimmying, or whatever suits your fancy! The remaining few installations were music themed with drums and large silver circles, which could be played, emitting different sounds to create a symphony of song. At the end, there was a room showcasing larger than life sculptures of heads of musical greats, including Louis Armstrong, Lil Wayne, and Big Freedia. I really enjoyed my time here. Staff were super welcoming, accommodating, and helpful with photos throughout. The artistry, detail, and care was visible throughout each and every art piece and room. JAMNOLA was such a fun experience and I recommend you check it out for yourself!

She was excited the whole time, and honestly so was I. It's one of those places where you can actually enjoy it as an adult and still let your kid have their moment too. We definitely got some really cute pictures, so if you're into that, you're going to love it. It's very "stop, pose, next room, do it again" in the best way. It's not a super long experience, but it's worth it. I'd say give yourself about an hour, maybe a little longer if you're taking your time with photos. Only tip is try to go when it's not too crowded, because some people really turn it into a full photoshoot and you'll be waiting a little. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you have kids or just want something different to do in the city.

I started planning for my August 7-9 trip to New Orleans back in January 2026. I researched lots of hotels close to the French Quarter, read tons of reviews across multiple sites including Booking.com, Priceline etc. There is always a mix of good and bad reviews for all hotels in my experience. I settled on this Holiday Inn and booked directly via their app. 0.5 miles distance from French Quarter, although I have a rental car, its good to be able to walk when needed. I was already aware of the $34.99 plus tax daily parking fee for the hotels parking lot. I had already researched and confirmed a parking lot directly across from the hotel with cheaper parking using my Spot Hero app for $48 total for 2 days. And it was quicker to access that parking lot versus the hotels parking lot. Pros: Early check in Late checkout Welcome bag with cookies and mints (nice touch) Great water pressure and water got super hot in the shower Microwave and fridge in room AC unit worked very well in room Free continental breakfast Text communication with the front desk during your stay Cons Hotel is dated and in need of major renovations Stained carpet Elevators slow and clunky making noises when in operation Mattresses worn out, you can feel the springs when you sit on the sides of the bed Entry door into your room hard to close Pillows were flat Employees were friendly maybe 50% of the time This property is not really a good representation of IHG properties in my opinion. I would look elsewhere when booking hotels in this area if possible.

Centrally located in the…read moredowntown area with walking distance to Canal, Bourbon and the French Quarter, plenty of eateries surrounding this hotel as well. Staff friendly. Hotel amenities could have been better and updated. The laundry room was out of order. The swimming pool was shut down as well and I'm confused on this since the weather was a humid 94 degrees my whole stay. The breakfast usually is good but it was basic on my days of stay so I opted to eat out at surrounding restaurants but I was booking this hotel for this amenity specifically. Room thermostat did work wonderfully. Tv kept cutting off repeatedly and if it stayed on it would make a popping noise to make the volume static. I think tv definitely needs to be updated. The mattress was good but the pillows were very thin with no cushion. The bath towels were not big enough as well. The room did have a microwave and refrigerator which is another perk of this franchise. Overall it did what it was supposed to do but my next visit I hate to say this location is not for me.

I was 33 when I first met him, and he became a father figure to me--someone whose kindness, wisdom, and encouragement have meant more than I can express.

Dr. DuBois believes that "the power that made the body can heal the body." That belief has been a meaningful part of my own healing journey. He has helped me heal in ways that touched my mind, body, and spirit, and I am forever grateful. His wife, Linda, is a sweetheart, too. Together, they are the definition of a power couple. I thank Allah for bringing them into my life.
