3 are on or near Canal, the Crown Plaza, the Wyndham French Quarter, and La Galerie. The other is the Holiday Inn across the street from Duncan Plaza. Traveling with 6-8 other friends around the end of July. This would be our first time in New Orleans.

Anyone ever stayed at any of these? Anything good/bad?

The one near Duncan Plaza, is that a long walk to everything?

Right now we are leaning towards the Crown Plaza and the Holiday Inn, since they have pools and the girls want to have the option to go swimming since we will be there mid summer. But a couple of them are also interested in La Galerie since its a non chain hotel and looks "cute"....

Open to other suggestions too, trying to come to a good balance between price and location since a few of us bought houses recently.
