Bourbon Orleans Hotel
Everything was fine - the staff were vey friendly and helpful. The is no breakfast service, per se. There is a restaurant, but expensive for breakfast. The water pressure was very low and the hot water basically not available - lukewarm at best. The staff said this was a city problem...
