If you plan to spend equal time at Champions Square and the Quarter, Marriott is a good choice. All of the team/alumni activies are there. It is festive and you will have a lot of opportunities to visit with players, coaches, administrators, etc. The only con is that it is crowded and everything takes longer, especially if you are trying to leave the morning after. I recommend staying an extra night, which is what we are doing. If you want to be close to the team hotel but not in it, consider the JW Marriott. It is across Canal and a block or two down from the 555 Marriott.
