A budget hotel right on Frenchmen Street — the real music strip — which is the entire selling point: step outside and every bar on the block has live bands nightly. Walk out the door and into the music. If you want to be inside the scene rather than near it, this is it, and it is budget-friendly, but it is loud, so embrace it. Not for light sleepers. It is the ultimate location play for music lovers — a no-frills base that trades quiet for the ability to stumble straight out into live brass and back again, with the city's best nightly music literally outside the window.
