10/10 Exceptional! (32 reviews)

The hotel is beautiful and nearby all the cool stuff but you still get to enjoy the quiet. Parking for free was a plus but our GMC Diesel truck was maybe an inch away from being too tall to fit in it. I love that the parking garage was enclosed though! Our rooms were great and the beds were comfortable. It was beautifully decorated and had great working AC and a great pool to relax in. This was a 5 star stay, but when 3 of our party of 4 went to take a walk, a housekeeper walked in to the room maybe 3 minutes after them leaving, made eye contact with me, and quickly shut the door. They definitely need to knock and it felt really weird how quickly she got to the room after they left. I went to tell someone at the lobby downstairs but there was no one there and we left about 30 minutes before check out.

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.
