Away from the hustle of the decadent French Quarter, the Best Western Avalon Six Flags makes an ideal base for families who want an easy two mile trek to the rides and excitement of Six Flags New Orleans. The official hotel of Six Flags Jazzland Theme Park offers scheduled shuttles to the park and 15 minutes away to the French Quarter's sights and sounds. The French Quarter shuttle service is on a first come, first serve basis and is subject to sell outs.

At the hotel, Lamar's Creole Restaurant, which specializes in home style cooking and Creole cuisine, offers complimentary continental breakfasts with views of the large outdoor pool and wading area for children. Two 1,100 square foot meeting rooms are perfect for business travelers and event planners.

Guest rooms feature floor length drapes, textured stucco walls, armoires, desks, black and white photographs of the French Quarter, data ports and coffee makers.

Twenty miles from the international airport, the Best Western Avalon Six Flags attracts cost conscious travelers, especially families and recreation vehicle enthusiasts who appreciate the ample parking. Tycoons also come here looking to make deals while staying in the Big Easy at prices that won't extinguish the company's pension fund.
