Vibe
Converted warehouses, exposed brick, steel beams, and the kind of hotel that used to make something before it started hosting people. Raw materials, refined experience.

NOPSI Hotel, New Orleans
Staff members go out of their way to help guests and give spot-on restaurant recommendations. Spacious, clean rooms stay quiet despite the downtown location. The rooftop bar and three on-site bars deliver great drinks and views.

Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel
Rooms vary wildly in quality and cleanliness. Location near casinos and restaurants is solid, but parking costs extra and staff didn't always disclose fees upfront. Front desk service ranges from excellent to unhelpful, and small rooms sometimes lack windows or basic amenities like washcloths.
