Hi .. we are going to be in NOLA March 17 to 24th and have booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn - French Quarter (off Gravier Street). We do have a car rented for a couple of days so we can do some exploring on our own but do plan to either bus it or walk it ...

With it being a new hotel, I haven't found too many reviews on it and not sure if anybody has some experience/suggestions on this hotel. We did get the room for $79US per night and know that is a great price - providing we are not disapointed.

Also, to keep costs down we'd like to find a grocery store close by so we can make the odd lunch/snack - is there anything close by for shopping ?

thanks in advance for your help and happy new year !!

Do you know if this hotel is new, Joanne? For the life of me, I can't place a Hilton on Gravier. Maybe it's not open yet?

This hotel opened up October of 2004 .. if memory serves me correct the address is 821 Gravier ..

On Tripadvisor.com two people reviewed it. It sounds like a decent place to stay, especially for the price. I'm sure it will be just fine.

This hotel seems fine, I went by it in Dec. But strongly consider only renting your car for when you plan on going OUT of the French Quarter. I "day" rent from Dollar on Loyola for about $20/day. You can easily do a "plantation" circuit in a day. Strongly consider the Evergreen tour- now available for walk ups.
