International House Boutique Hotel for Jazz Fest?

Hello - This is a followup to my other question, but I have been looking into the International House for 4/26 - 5/4.... would it be a bad place to stay if we want to go to Jazz Fest on a few of the days? It says that it's on the edge of the French Quarter, but is it a ';good edge'; or a ';bad edge';. Thanks in advance!! My husband is a musician, so we'll also want to go to some jazz clubs in the evenings.International House Boutique Hotel for Jazz Fest?
The International House is in a good location in the Central Business District, and is about 2 blocks from the French Quarter.





The JazzFest site is at the Fairgrounds, which is about 2.5 miles from the International House Hotel.





The International House is very close to the pick-up point for the shuttle to the JazzFest, which is at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street: For specifics, go to http://www.nojazzfest.com/ and click on Info then FAQ, the the question ';How do I get to the Fairgrounds?';.International House Boutique Hotel for Jazz Fest?
The hotel itself is ok and the location is fine for the french quarter as long as you are heading toward the quarter. Although if you want to be a bit closer to the jazz fest and the jazz clubs you might want to consider staying on the opposite side of the quarter closer to Frenchman Street. Take a look at Maison DuBois. They are walkable to all the clubs and everything in the quarter. And only about a block or 2 from the Jazz Fest Shuttle stop. Have fun!

I've heard that some of the rooms are small. that if you could get and upgrade to larger room it's nicer %26amp; I don't think they have on site parking





check hotels.com for discount rates.


I've read internet reservations get the smallest rooms?





did you try Wyndham at Canal Place?
