semichigan Posted July 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Read the thread titled "areas to avoid in New Orleans" ...Metairie is one they said to avoid...not my personal knowledge, just read it a few minutes ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOne Posted July 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Read the thread titled "areas to avoid in New Orleans" ...Metairie is one they said to avoid...not my personal knowledge, just read it a few minutes ago.... I looked at that thread and would disagree. Metairie is the suburbs with lots of sprawl, big box stores, strip malls, etc. Anytime you have that you will have property crime but the area is just fine. The other thread mentioned the airport and that is in Kenner which is fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksmycat Posted July 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I will stay at the Holiday Inn in Metairie for my upcoming cruise. It has decent ratings. It has a stay park and cruise package as well if you would be needing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted July 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2015 As a local, I'd pick a park & cruise package in Metairie over Kenner or Downtown New Orleans. Personally, anywhere in Metairie would be fine for a one night pre- or post-cruise stay. If you're looking to spend more time in the city, it's probably much of a muchness based on parking rates and driving times to/from the touristy areas of the city.

molme Posted July 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Ellieann What about the west bank area? Is this a safe area? That is where the Best Western with parking and shuttle is located. Thanks Molme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Molme If it's the one at 1700 Lapalco Boulevard, Harvey, I'd have no problem with it for a park & cruise package. But like staying in Metairie, if you want to send a lot of time in the touristy areas of New Orleans, the time and costs of parking will balance it out price wise with downtown hotels. Caveat: I have never stayed at the hotel, I just know the area. Edited July 9, 2015 by ellieanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted July 10, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) If I stay in Metairie, I like to be near Veteran's Memorial Blvd. There are a couple malls there, Buffalo Wild Wings, Hooters, Acme oyster house, Bobby Hebert's restaurant, Café Du Monde, Gambino's bakery. I'm not sure if any have park and sail. There's a Sleep Inn behind clearview mall that looks decent. Then down by the other mall there's a Hampton Inn and a nice little Country Inn and Suites. I stayed at the Country Inn and Suites about a year ago. They had just bought it from Ramada and were remodeling it. Those two are really close to the Acme Oyster house which would be a good place to eat in that area. I've never felt unsafe in that part of Metairie.
