Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel

Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel is a budget hotel at 114 Magazine Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, one block from Canal Street and close to the edge of the French Quarter. Magazine Street at this downtown end runs toward the Warehouse District, with the riverfront, the Aquarium of the Americas and the Canal Street streetcar all within easy walking distance. Bourbon Street and Jackson Square can be reached on foot in about ten to fifteen minutes, which makes the location practical for first-time visitors. Room types include Double rooms, Queen rooms and King rooms, and rates generally fall between about US$90 and US$200 per night, which is among the lower prices for a downtown address. Amenities include free breakfast and a fitness center. The hotel does not operate as a dining destination, so visitors typically use the free breakfast and then eat at nearby restaurants, bars and cafes in the Central Business District, the Warehouse District and the French Quarter. The service character is that of a mid-size Best Western Plus property: friendly, straightforward and focused on value, with a front desk that can provide maps and directions and help with tours or airport transfers. Best Western Rewards members can earn points on stays. The hotel suits budget-minded couples, families and groups who want a central location without paying luxury prices, and it is also popular with visitors attending events at the Convention Center, the Superdome or the arena. Because Magazine Street and Canal Street are active day and night, some noise from traffic and nearby bars is possible. Rooms are practical rather than luxurious, and visitors seeking a boutique or resort experience may prefer another property. Parking in the Central Business District is normally billed per day, and many guests choose to leave the car behind and walk or use the streetcar.
