Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter
Great location and close to everything we wanted to see. The staff was very welcoming, helpful, and super nice. Other reviews mentioned that it was very loud at night, but during my stay (March 5-8), it was pleasantly quiet. I suppose it just depends on when you go.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel
The location is excellent. The balcony was amazing. The staff were great and courteous. The room was nice and clean. Cons: Both TVs glitched with poor or no reception. The room had no microwave. It took an hour to get our car the first morning.
