Great hotel, price and location.

This hotel is perfect for people not wanting to stay right on loud, crazy Bourbon St., yet it's in walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. Great hotel, very clean and VERY friendly and helpful staff. Only downfall is the walls are very thin and if you have a room right by the elevators (and are a light sleeper like me) they will keep you up all night. I would recommend asking for a room far away from the elevators. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this hotel.

Oceana Grill (the front desk also gives a 10% off coupon.) Most amazing food we had the entire time. Also try Acme Oyster bar. For a nice dinner, try the Bourbon House.

Use Canal St to destination street for safety. Avoid some of the side streets, especially late at night.

You get what you pay for...

Location was good, great access to Bourbon Street, Pillows were awful and hotel was "out" when I asked for an extra one. Sheets were clean, bathroom clean enough but the carpet felt very dirty, of course you track in the street dirt from NO. Staff seemed annoyed by guests. My friends who stayed in the same hotel had rooms without windows. Will pay a little more next time for more comfort.

PLEASE AVOID THIS HOTEL

Please avoid this hotel at all cost I beg of you. Their equipment i.e. their door malfunctioned to the point that their employees were able to in and steal over 2000 dollars worth of technology!! What makes it worse the general manager could give a rats toe what happened to my best friend and I. We felt like we were less than nothing although we were out 2500 (the cost of our stuff and hotel cost) She did not care to make anything right. Please spend your money at a better hotel with a real name Hilton, Sheraton etc I do not want this to happen to anyone else. Nothing but theives and inconsiderate people its just sad.

Essence Festival Extravaganza

I took a trip to the 2011 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. The trip was amazing and the hotel was in close proximity to many things. Food, clubs, shopping, etc. I stayed at this hotel last year and it was just as amazing. They left little gifts in the room and it made me feel really welcome. The staff was kind and I really enjoyed the location. I didn't need to rent a car, because everything I needed was walking distance. Will definetly be staying there again next year.

okay hotel but great location

the room had a window that faced nothing and was very small. would be comfortable for one person or maybe a couple that doesn't plan on sitting in the room much.

Great location not so great atmosphere.

The hotel seemed a bit expensive for what you got. The room wasn't very clean, there were stains on the floor, & our 'queen' bed was definitely only a full. But it was a short walking distance to bourbon st so the location made up for what it lacked in comfort & luster.

disappointing

location is good, very close to french quarter and on a trolly line. having stayed there before several years ago and finding it acceptable, we were disapponted with the condition and services. we were first put in a room with no windows, so we upgraded. the key cards wouldn't work and we had to go back down again. you could barely maneuver around the room it was so small and crowded with furniture. there was a burn hole in the bedcover. we were also told to give 20 minutes for the valet to bring our car; we went down, the car wasn't there and the valet told us it would be quicker for us to walk a couple blocks to the parking garage to get it ourselves. the attendants at the garage didn't know whete our keys were. being summer in N.O. it was a sweaty walk and wait before going to dinner.

Find a different hotel!!!

Spacious? Really? The room was tiny. The air conditioner was extremely loud and didn't work well. Walls are paper thin!!! The TV was hard to watch through all the "snow" on every channel. Modern? If you call cigarette burns in the bedding and curtain modern! I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!
