Honeymoons at The Eliza Jane: is it a good pick?
Yes — The Eliza Jane is a solid pick for a honeymoon if you want a boutique, historic-feeling hotel a few blocks from the French Quarter with an on-site French-Louisiana restaurant and a central downtown location. It’s not a resort with a pool or spa, so choose it for location, character, and dining rather than resort-style amenities.
