Top hotels in Central City
Maison St Charles
"Staff is the star of this property. I cannot comment on the breakfast as I had to leave early, the reception did have hot coffee available. Using RTA is not intuitive, their website is useless on phones, so a cheat sheet would have been helpful."

Bourbon Orleans Hotel
"This was a perfect location to immerse yourself in the French Quarter. We looked forward to the pool courtyard everyday. Lei at check-in desk was THE BEST! I travel a lot and rarely get friendly service like hers. A definite asset to the hotel and my stay!!"
