New Orleans
Hotel Indigo, we like your finger-popping style. In the guestrooms, New Orleans–themed photographic murals root you firmly in the city, while bright pillows and bold prints add an artsy sense of fun. The hotel is steps from the St Charles Avenue Streetcar line, and the big-windowed lobby overlooks Mardi Gras parades and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon route.
Parking will cost you $23 a day, while pets are $50 per stay. We had no problems with free public parking along Jackson Ave.
