Watch the world go by at Congo Square. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have countless stories to tell.

If you're searching for free experiences to add to your Mid-City District schedule, Congo Square is a great starting point. But this public square is just one of a myriad of sights that draw travelers to this urban neighborhood. Head to nearby Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Jackson Square and French Market to top off an enjoyable day of sightseeing.

We had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed the cleanliness and quiet atmosphere. There were plenty of assigned covered parking and that added extra comfort. The roof top was a great place to relax. I would highly recommend Latitude if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

It was really nice and I loved the industrial feel. The beds were super comfortable and clean. However, I could hear other guests, the fire alarm went off twice. The light above one of the sinks didn't work. I also, felt there should've been coffee.

Interesting little place in NOLA. After living in Haiti for over 3 years and seeing some of the concentrated verses of voodoo there, I thought this was just a silly tourist trap. Although it seemed they had some pretty authentic things. My girlfriend at the time purchased a "fertility" ring there. Well let's just say 2 years later we now have a one year old and happily married.
