misand Posted January 24, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Anyone stayed here or know how far it is from the port? What is the parking situation? Can you leave your vehicle here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted January 24, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2007 misand, The Holiday Inn Westbank is located in Gretna on the other side of the Mississippi River. It´s directly next to the interstate. And as far as I remember it´s not the best area. Port and French Quarter are on the other side of the river. Your car might be safe if the hotel is offering free parking for cruisers. On the hotel website they mention a free shuttle to the Algiers/Canal Street ferry. From there you can easily walk over to the FQ. To get to the port I´d use a cab and not the shuttle/ferry/walking. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crichard Posted January 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The Holiday Inn Express on the westbank is better. The other is OK, but this one is better. You can take a taxie to the river. Call the hotel and ask for free parking, a lot of hotels out of the quarter are doing this. I live on the eastbank of the river and this is the hotel I stay in when my children have late night dances or activities. The staff is VERY friendly and willing to help. Almost feels like I am staying at a high priced hotel. Let me know if theres anything else. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misand Posted January 25, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I see a HI express east but no westbank. That is on Bullard is that the one you were saying was a little better. Cathy? Thanks, Mist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crichard Posted January 25, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It is the Holiday Inn Express, I believe it is located on Manhattan. Let me know if you cant find it. DONT stay at the one on Bullard, that is in New Orleans east. Theres not enough open out there, its just not safe. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
