Hey JOeb... you ought to try the Queen & Crescent. It's almost exactly mid-way between the Superdome and the French Quarter and right in the midst of the Garden District.

The Queen & Crescent is one of the "Boutique Hotels of New Orleans" listed at the top of the page. Either click thru to their website, or hit the "book it" button to check on availablity and book a room.
