Ambassador Hotel N.O.?
 

I've read here that the Ambassador is in a scary part of town - but then I've read elsewhere that it's fine. Would I be dumb to walk from the Convention Ctr to the Ambassador Hotel at 11:00pm during the week?

What City are we talking here?

I'm not familiar with the Ambassador Hotel, but as a general rule the only completely safe place to walk at 11:00 at night is the middle of the French Quarter, which has a huge police presence and lots of people, too. If I were you I'd rely on cabs.

Sorry - in my subject it says N.O. - it's New Orleans. <BR> <BR>Are the cabs safe to ride alone?

The cabs are absolutely safe. Locals seem to favor United.

The Ambassador is across the street from <BR>Mother's Restaurant, on Tchoupitoulas. <BR>This is next door to the Windsor Court <BR>Hotel, two blocks from the Hilton, <BR>two and one-half blocks from the river, <BR>one block from Convention Center Blvd., <BR>two short blocks from Canal St., on <BR>which the other side is the French Quarter. <BR>It's also three blocks from Emeril's, <BR>five blocks from Brennan's, two blocks <BR>from the Creole Queen, four blocks from <BR>the Carnival Cruise Line docks on Fri. <BR>and Sun., two blocks from Riverwalk, <BR>three blocks from the Aquarium . . . <BR>and, it's not even a very good hotel! <BR>DO YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS ABOUT <BR>NEW ORLEANS? <BR> So, take a cab and use a gun! <BR>Chris <BR>

Ok Chris - last sentence - NOT NECESSARY! If you don't want to help, then just don't reply! And what's with the gun comment? And do you have a reason that the Ambassador is not a good hotel or what?

I don't know a thing about the hotel, but I don't think the location is that bad. If it's situated as Chris points out (very detailed, even if he is being sarcastic), it's only a few blocks from the Convention Center. If you don't feel like walking it that late at night, a cab shouldn't be more than $5.
