Your in a Very Nice Hotel! It's in a good location & although it makes the walking distances a little bit farther from everything else, you'll still be just fine. Plus, you are closer to Arnaud's...or is it Alex's. I forget. Either way, it starts with an "A" & is an A+ restaurant. I always like eating there when in the Big Easy. Don't fuss about the hotel shift Stuart, it's a fair trade.
