Questions families ask
Should we book two queens or two doubles?
Two queens give each pair more sleeping width, especially useful with older children. Higgins, Windsor Court and St Charles Coach House all accommodate four in two queens. Monteleone, Sheraton and Country Inn use smaller doubles. Check the exact room name before paying: several hotels' current two-queen categories differ from descriptions calling the beds doubles.
How much room will four people actually have?
Higgins and Windsor Court offer around 400 square feet, making them stronger choices for spreading out. Monteleone's 230-square-foot room and Country Inn's 210-square-foot room officially fit four but leave less luggage space. Homewood's studio adds a kitchen, not a separate bedroom. At Peter and Paul, request side-by-side queens if a mezzanine staircase would be awkward.
Can we add a crib or rollaway?
Do not assume either fits just because a room sleeps four. Higgins and Homewood list no rollaways, while several hotels require room-specific confirmation. Crib information conflicts at Roosevelt, Homewood and St Charles Coach House. Sheraton lists free cribs on request. Confirm availability, fees and whether your infant counts toward the room's occupancy limit before booking.
Does a room for four cost much more than a room for two?
The difference varies by hotel: the increase is relatively small at Higgins, Comfort Inn and Hilton Riverside, but more substantial at Monteleone, Roosevelt and Sheraton. Compare the exact four-person category rather than the hotel's cheapest headline room. Included breakfast and parking can also change the overall value, while destination fees and paid parking add to it.
Which neighborhood works best for family sightseeing and transport?
The French Quarter and Canal Street edge put major sights within walking distance. The Warehouse District suits WWII Museum visits and a base outside the Quarter. Marigny works for the French Market and Frenchmen Street. St Charles Coach House offers streetcar access in the Garden District; Metairie generally means driving or rideshares rather than walking to central attractions.
