While these hotels in historic buildings may not be elegant like some upscale downtown properties, this inn proved to be a good place to get a comfortable night's sleep and a shower to prepare for busy days of activities. The location is great, right between the bustling area of Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street which has places to hear quality live music, and also within a short walk from the French Market and Moon Riverwalk. And, it is just far enough from the crowds and surpringly rather quiet. Also among my activities were the Jazz Museum and the historic Ursuline Convent Museum, great places to take in history. The room has a coffee maker, but for a great breakfast, try the Croissant D'or coffee shop and patisierrie a block or two west of the kitty corner from the Inn at Ursulines and Royal.
