<p>momstriple, I just came back from an Honors weekend and I stayed at the Best Western St. Charles. I had never been to NOLA before and I thought it was a great area to stay. 10-15 min. one way on the streetcar and you are at Tulane, 10-15 min. the other way and you are at the French Quarter. For parents weekend we are booked at the Hampton Inn which is right next door to the Best Western on St. Charles Avenue. Look these up and see if you can get in.</p>
