Perfect location!
We came from Hawaii for the Sugarbowl. I can't say how hard it was to try and find a decent place without being able to talk to people who have been there. Sometimes you read these reviews and you especially wonder about the complaints -- are they really big issues? Or are people just complaining for the heck of it?
I can't say enough about how wonderful the Chateau Orleans was. We stayed in the 1 bedroom the first night and then moved over when our friends came to the 2 bedroom suite. It was awesome! Noisy? I think not. We stayed with 4 of us 20-somethings and an older couple, and none of us were disturbed by noise. Because this place is tucked away about 2 blocks away from Bourbon Street, what you hear is merely just some talking on the street as partiers walk back to their apartments. No loud partying whatsoever. That's what the previous reviews scared us about, but whatever. We stayed in the unit closest to the street, and the noise was so super faint it didn't bother us.
The parking was super convenient, and it was so close to everything - Bourbon St, Canal St, even the Superdome wasn't but a 10 minute walk away. The place was awesome.
The only thing we sort of "sighed" at, although it was so cute, was the historic French staircase, which spiraled down from the 2 bedrooms upstairs, because it was narrow and hard to carry our heavy bags up. Other than that, it was fantastic and we definitely got our money's worth.
6 of us stayed there comfortably using the sofa bed and couch, but we could have easily had many guests over. It's close to all the restaurants, shops, and bars, and it's secured with a coded lock so you feel safe at night. They even have a courtesy washer & dryer on-site so we could wash our clothes.
The ambience was great, everything was clean, and it was pretty cozy. It was just great and we will recommend it to everyone!!
