Bed and breakfasts

Best hotel in the French Quarter?

I am spending a few nights in New Orleans in August and would like a hotel in the French Quarter where I can walk to many places and has parking. Historic would be nice..Bed and Breakfast Ok too!

Since the hurricane, I have stayed in the Hotel Monteleone twice (smallish rooms except the suites), the Ritz Carlton twice (service still struggling to achieve appropriate standards), the W French Quarter twice (fabulous location on Chartres but a real sink would be nice), and the Windsor Court four times (love the full suites, but they need a make over). All have parking, are close the sites of the city, and are safe. Only the Monteleone would be described as historic. Have fun.

Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast New Orleans, LA

Greenwood Manor $6 Laura Flannery needs a vacation from her boring life and a break from nosy neighbors. So when a postcard arrives in the mail announcing the grand opening of a bed and breakfast in New Orleans, she decides to give it a try. Deposited on the doorstep of what appears to be a beautifully restored mansion, Laura finds it odd the cab driver is so eager to drive away; and that’s just the beginning… From a butler who seems to avoid any physical contact whatsoever, to a housekeeper who floats rather than walks, Laura can’t help but start questioning her sanity. Then, when a man she’s never seen before appears and claims he’s her dead husband, she has to decide if it’s time to head for the hills or stay and discover what secret past she has with Greenwood Manor and its handsome–albeit deceased–owner.
