The Maison Perrier bed and breakfast is in the Uptown/Garden District, known for its elegant antebellum mansions and lovely gardens. Built in 1892, Maison Perrier was renovated in 1997 to its full Victorian splendor, retaining many of its original features but adding such modern amenities as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and of course, a hot breakfast. The 14 rooms vary in size, and in the number and types of beds, but each is decorated with a distinct blend of period furnishings and antiques; some find it quaint, some find it dated. On the National Register of Historic Places, Maison Perrier stands as an elegant reminder of New Orleans' past.

The 96-room Super 8 New Orleans is a typical roadside value hotel. With its proximity to the freeway, it's ideal for anyone who's on a road trip or about to hop on a cruise. The price is good and there's a small fitness room, pool, and free breakfast. That said, the location is less than ideal for tourists, as it's not near the airport or French Quarter, and there's little of interest within walking distance. If you want a quick highway stop or are on a strict budget this hotel is a good option, but if you are looking to be immersed in the bustle of NOLA, you'll have better luck in the French Quarter -- though you'll pay more, even for a budget chain hotel like the Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter.

With 1,193 rooms, this upscale high-rise hotel feels a bit like a city unto itself. The setting is great for business travelers: 200,000 square feet of event space, a FedEx business center, and even a Starbucks. The Superdome is practically next door, and a streetcar stops out front, making it easy to access all of NOLA's events and attractions. Rooms are simply decorated with a contemporary, chain hotel style, along with high-quality Hyatt Grand Beds and 42-inch flat-screen TVs. Guests could spend much of their time on-site, considering the four restaurants, rooftop saltwater pool, 24-hour fitness center with city views, and free weekend jazz performances. There is no free in-room Wi-Fi.

The two-story Hotel Provincial -- with 94 rooms in the historic French Quarter -- is a retreat into old New Orleans. The hotel, with period architectural accents, brick courtyards, and antique furniture, also has on-site valet parking, free Wi-Fi, two pools, and an attractive restaurant with happy hour specials. Rooms complement the traditional vibe of the hotel, but the antique furniture can be dank and musty, although bathrooms have been remodeled. All in all, it's one of the best boutique hotels for the price in the neighborhood.

Courtyard New Orleans Downtown/Iberville is a great value mid-range property that's convenient for both business travelers and tourists who want a clean and quiet base to explore the French Quarter. It's attached to a Ritz-Carlton, where guests can pay a fee to use the swimming pool and spa facilities. Cheerful, vibrant rooms look more like those in a boutique hotel than the standard chain. Mini-fridges, iHome docks, and coffeemakers are nice touches, but views of a neighboring building can feel claustrophobic. Vieux Carre Café provides specialty coffee and pre-made sandwiches, but better options abound in the French Quarter neighborhood. If you're looking for a sexier boutique hotel with a great jazz bar, compare rates at the nearby Saint Hotel, Autograph Collection (which is often slightly more expensive).
