I type away here to recommend Matt’s place to anyone coming to NOLA for conferences and considering staying at the large hotels—Sheraton, Marriott, Westin, etc. I coordinated professional meetings for years and always recommended staying at hotels, but here I suggest you consider Matt’s place.You will be lucky to get a hotel room in the mid-300 range per night, not including considerable taxes the city adds, and you’ll likely be without a microwave and/or refrigerator. Add in the parking a car, and you’ll close in at 450-500/night. Matt’s place is a second story 2 bedroom with complete kitchen and front porch. It is not as nicely appointed as a major hotel, but its character is that of New Orleans and you’ll have the feeling of living in New Orleans rather than living in a box. Matt’s place is a 2–3-minute walk to the trolley, and you’ll have an adorable 10–to-12-minute ride which ends in front of the major hotels. Being a senior my trolley pass was 0.80/day (normally 3/day and 8/3 days). All said and done, you’ll pay considerably less per day for Matt’s place than for a hotel, parking is free, and since you’ll have 2 bedrooms, the cost is even lower if you are sharing with a colleague, and very affordable if bringing your family for a short vacation.Come to Matt’s place, attend meetings, eat downtown or at home, enjoy downtown life, and get out of the city for a peaceful night’s rest like you live in New Orleans.
