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.
