Federal City Inn & Suites

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the Buzz of the Big Easy

Modern and no-fuss, Federal City Inn & Suites offers a quiet and budget-friendly home base just a 10-minute drive from the French Quarter. Tucked in a quieter part of New Orleans near the Marine Corps Support Facility, this all-suite hotel is ideal for music fans looking for comfort, convenience, and value without being in the thick of the party 24/7.
Each room comes with a kitchenette (stove, microwave, fridge, and kitchenware), perfect for pre-show snacks or post-concert leftovers. With free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and free parking, the essentials are well covered.
Check-in: 4:00 PM    Check-out: 12:00 PM

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a short ride from the city's major music venues—like the French Quarter and downtown spots—means you can enjoy the New Orleans nightlife, then retreat to a quiet, low-key space to recharge. It's especially attractive for those who want to avoid the noise (and price tag) of staying directly in the Quarter. Flexible check-out at noon is a win after a late-night encore, and free parking is a huge perk for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a suite with kitchen access
• Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list show
• Couples wanting a low-key, affordable weekend base
• Fans needing a quiet spot to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on experiences, not lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the in-room kitchenettes are a huge bonus for those late-night cravings. Stock the fridge with your favorites or reheat local eats. Several casual dining spots are just a short drive away, and you’ll find plenty of options for breakfast after a late night in the nearby neighborhoods.

Nightlife Options

Just a few miles across the Mississippi River, the French Quarter’s world-famous bars and music joints await. Whether you're after jazz clubs, rooftop lounges, or late-night dive bars, you're never too far—but also not trying to sleep above them. Back at the hotel, it’s peaceful and quiet, ideal for winding down.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The quiet atmosphere is a recurring highlight, and many reviewers love the value, especially given the proximity to downtown and the French Quarter. The free parking is often called a major bonus for those driving in.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel delivers on essentials, don’t expect luxury touches—some guests mention the decor is a bit dated. There’s no breakfast offered on-site, and you’ll need to drive or rideshare for most dining and nightlife. But for the price, most agree it’s a great trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Orleans for a concert and want a quiet, affordable, and convenient place to crash without the chaos of Bourbon Street, Federal City Inn & Suites hits the right notes.
