Running us around $80 a night, this place was affordable, but it was way the hell out there. Upon arriving, we were greeted in the office by a team of the most relaxed dogs that I have ever seen. The woman in charge couldn't have been nicer, telling us what was happening that day and even drawing a map for us so we knew where to go. Then she and one of her dogs, lead us upstairs to our room. Situated on the second floor, our room had a beautiful view of the courtyard area. The room itself was a picturesque room with a ceiling fan, AC unit, private bathroom, dressers, closets, and even a little living area. But we didn't have time the first day to explore the room, we had Bourbon Street calling our names.The next day we awoke to a fresh, free breakfast of bagels, muffins, coffee, tea, and an assortment of juices. Nothing like waking up and have a free, great breakfast. The food was also served in a small enclosed lounge area with a microwave and sink, if you wanted to bring food back and heat it up.All in all, this place was amazing and totally worth the money, however the distance to Bourbon was a little unbearable. It was something like a 20 minute walk to the end of Bourbon, with the bars another 10 minutes away or so. But the Olde Town Inn was nice and a good place to stay if you can't stay in the French Quarter. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r584587 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r506226 After years of staying in the 'Quarter' during Jazz Fest, we have ventured out in the last three years to the Old Town Inn. Robert's Grocery is close by,along with some great restaurants, music clubs, and shopping. Then there is the invigorating walk to the 'Quater.' We love the casual atmosphere and friendly service of the staff of the Old Town Inn. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r506226 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r1109327 My wife and I have stayed at the Olde Town Inn three times - every time that we've visited New Orleans. We found it the first time quite by accident (drove into the city without a plan for where to stay), and we were taken with it from the beginning. It is located in an older couple of old houses, and it has lots of character - antique furniture, wood floors, claw-foot tubs. It looks a little worn around the edges, but frankly, we felt it was the perfect New Orleans hotel. The prices are good - much cheaper than hotels right in the heart of the french quarter. Our rooms were always clean and neat, and the staff here is all very friendly. The walk to Bourbon street isn't far, and at the end of the night it is about a $5 cab ride from Bourbon street back to the hotel - in case you aren't up for the walk. If you're looking for a homey, comfortable place to stay, this is the perfect place for you! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r1109327 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r506227 The Olde Town Inn was great! The courtyard was really pretty and had a neat look and feeling to it. The neighborhood around the hotel is pretty ghetto looking but the inn itself is terrific. The room was very neat looking and had some neat furniture in it. The best part was we got to keep all the beads that were in the room! There were tons! The location was very convenient as well. Walking distance from the French Quarter. Overall neat feeling to it. I would stay there again! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Olde_Town_Inn/r506227
