Lonely Planet "Nine buildings from the 1830s combine to form a fine mid-range hotel in the very heart of the Quarter." Full review
Star Service "The fact that its room rates are so low keeps this place on the short list of both budgeters and those willing to pay up, everyone clearly enjoying the excellent location and friendly vibe." Full review
Gayot "A stone's throw from historic St. Louis Cathedral and a couple blocks from Bourbon Street, yet private and quiet enough to escape the madding crowds."

It’s worth joining the Harrah’s free loyalty program; even if you only gamble a little, you may get a suite upgrade.
Star Service "Harrah's opened this hotel one short year after Hurricane Katrina, in a 26-story tower across from the casino, and it is now the most popular outposts for gamblers in the Big Easy." Full review
