"The front-desk staff is friendly and well-informed. The bottom line: While not trendy, Hotel Ste. Marie is reliable and the price is right."

"The contrast between the hurly-burly of Bourbon Street and the Sonesta's elegant lobby couldn't be greater -- this is one of the classiest hotels in the Quarter."

Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.

"Covering almost a block in the Quarter, this hotel is like a little village with its own shops, cafés, courtyards, and personalities."

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.

"French style and New Orleans panache come together in this hotel's long, wide lobby, which is flanked by one of the French Quarter's lushest courtyards."
