I had an amazing four-day stay in New Orleans with my son at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the French Quarter and lots of great eateries. Our room was spotless, and the hotel staff, particularly Emma at the front desk, were super helpful and friendly. On the downside, I felt that the breakfast options could've offered more value given the $45 daily limit on the coupon provided.
