The Rates at Le Meridien New Orleans

"Pets are not only welcome, but provided with a custom bed, treats and a dog-walking service, though owners pay a steep price ($25 additional room rate and a $100 cleaning fee)"

"Attracting the "younger set", these "cutting-edge" digs "close to the French Quarter" provide "luxurious" "fun" with "chic" public spaces and "typical W bars and crowds" plus "ultramodern" quarters, which though "a touch on the small side" are still "comfortable"; naysayers gripe it's "over-decorated" in "an attempt to be artsy", but service is "accommodating", the spa is "excellent" and enthusiasts exclaim that though it's a bit "pricey", you get your "money's worth"

"YOU SHOULD KNOW At $45/night, valet here is quite pricey, but not unusual for hotels in the area"
