Canal Street Inn

New Orleans is a city full of charm, dating back to 1718, where every corner feels alive with history and culture. While Bourbon Street can get crowded and overwhelming, I’d recommend exploring the parallel streets—quieter, more relaxed, and just as authentic. If you're into live music, Frenchmen Street is the place to be, especially in the evening when the energy really comes alive. The food here is bold and flavorful—my favorite was the crispy fried fish served with rice and beans, spicy and satisfying. The hotel’s location is perfect: close enough to everything but far enough from the noise. Easy access by public transit, clean rooms, and a welcoming vibe made my stay unforgettable. Definitely coming back.
