The Sonder Gallier was a great option for my extended family. Everyone had their own room and two large bathrooms to share. The in room laundry was well- utilized. The kitchens and bathrooms had everything we needed. I brought toilet paper and paper towels, but didn't need them. The Gallier Restaurant right next door nakes a great "hotel" restaurant, offering brunch and dinner. There are a number of restaurants nearby offering everthing from cheap eats to fine dining. There is a grocery store on one corner and a CVS on the other. Many places are open 24 hours. The St. Charles and Canal St. Street cars are right outside your door, offering (now air-conditioned!) public transportation to mid-city, City Park, Uptown, Ceaser's Casino, the Riverwalk, the Aquarium, the Audobon Zoo, and the French Quarter all thd way to the French Market. The location on Carodelet just off Canal offers easy walkable access to Bourbon Street bars, Royal Street antiques,, and all the shopping, dining, and entertainment of the French Quarter. Great location. The bedrooms are comfortable and quiet, tho small. The living area has large windows facing the street, so it picks up street noises, especially the passing street cars, but it's the sounds of the city. The building is safe and secure, and the surrounding area is consists of commercial buildings typical of a downtown, hotels, tourists, and the usual trappings of an urban downtown area, so practice normal caution while walking the streets.
