I’ve stated a couple hotels in the area and I absolutely love this one. It is in a great location. The pool is a great amenity. The rooms are clean and the staff is super accommodating. We will definitely stay here again.
Great central location but fairly quiet. Great AC if you’re staying in the summer. The bartender was a great and friendly character and made a great milk punch. Nice pool.

room was spacious, clean, staff was friendly and helpful, had balcony to look around, parking fee 45+tax and safe.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It’s off to the side of the French Quarter so it’s quiet but close enough to walk everywhere. The staff is friendly, especially Rebecca. My room was clean and comfortable. I am glad I found this nice hotel for my visit to New Orleans.
We thoroughly enjoyed the convenient location. We parked our car in the parking lot and walked everywhere we wanted to go.
The room was large and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Thanks!
I enjoyed my stay @ hotel. The staff were very polite made checkin & checkout great. My room was clean & together when I arrived which made everything else run smoothly. The only thing I didn’t like was the room didn’t have any soap, shampoo or any other toiletries.
Also another plus was the location of the hotel was literally right down the street from the strip of everything. Honestly my stay in NoLa was a 10/10
Older hotel but so beautiful, and the staff were amazing! Loved that it was literally close to everything you want to see in New Orleans! We had a porch balcony were we could sit outside and have coffee in the morning look at all the beautiful buildings. We really enjoyed our stay there!
Excellent friendly staff that were very helpful, room was clean.

Most part staff were great. Pool issues on the hottest days we were there closed the pool. we just wanted to return to-to the hotel and swim after a daybout exploring But couldn’t for 3 days. They did arrange to let us use the pool at a sister hotel but it was 3 blocks away
Great location and nice to have parking on site. Only complaint would be that you can hear a noise from the hallways. Staff was friendly and love that it is locked up at night.
The hotel is very charming & the staff was very friendly & helpful.
The room AC was not cooling the room & the maintenance man had to change the AC filters.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location is perfect for walking everywhere. Parking is $50/day behind a gate. The hotel was overall really dirty. Our bedding was dirty and we had to have it changed. Bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. Coffee bar is advertised but is just one coffee pot with powdered creamer and sugar packets. Late night you hear partying from bourbon street. I would not stay here again if I brought a family.
