Worst in New Orleans I've ever stayed so far...
The locations is the only good thing going on for this Hotel, The room was freezing cold, and we couldn't change the temperature no matter what. The room was small and awkardly arranged. Our bed was pretty much in a corner, and the staff seemed to be in their own world. Took me about an hour just to check in, and there were only two of us trying to get our keys. On top of that they charge you a mandatory extra fee to use the internet connection, which doesn't even work!!! For that price a night you'd at least expect some breakfast, or something! We left pretty dissappointed, and swore never to stay there again. Ever!!!

Great location but a little disappointed
The location is PRIME for an affordable stay within walking distance to the French Quarter. The room was comfy, the staff was very polite. However, there was renovations occurring throughout the hotel during our stay. The renovations werent troubling, except that they began at 7am. In the French Quarter, 7 am is when everyone falls asleep. It would've been much more polite to have them wait until checkout time before they start with the hammering and the jackhammer. Also the shower pressure was really weak.

Excellent location right by the Quarter
I'm having trouble understanding why this hotel only averages a 3 star rating. The staff was accomodating, the location absolutely perfect, and the room ( a single king) just what I was looking for. Nothing extravagant, but instead just the perfect size to relax after a day (or night) in the French Quarter. I have a feeling that I'll be back here, for sure.

Great location, good staff
The location is great. Most of the staff was nice. But: the rooms are SMALL. First room, so small we asked for a new one. Second room, slightly bigger, but it smelled like cigarette smoke, very strong and bad. A whole bottle of freshener plus what the maid used and it was still stinky. My unworn clothes smelled when I unpacked. The whole hotel is non-smoking, by the way. Third room was a better size, but we were there 12 days and didn't move in until day 9. The elevators were fast and plentiful. We never waited. The bathrooms were nice, enough room mostly and functional. The staff was accomodating for the most part. We did buy a noise generator on our first day, due to noisy neighbors. The lobby is industrial--no place to sit. The exercise bike was broken. Internet was OK in the room, but we could not print from a website in the "business center"--one PC and one printer. There was a $9 charge for the fitness center and internet, too.The room furniture was all broken, delaminating. All in all, I would not recommend this hotel.

Great Location, especially during Mardi Gras
Had a few little problems with the water (hot water went out and then water cut off next day) yet both were repaired rapidly. Staff was average, nothing to rave about yet did their job. The extra $9 a day hotel charge (amenity fee) was known yet little steep for internet, phone, and use of some fitness room- who uses that in NOLA?? GREAT location. We were on parade route and easy walking distance to anything and everything. Room was small but was fine. Carpet could use a good cleaning but in New Orleans, hotels probably need to do this frequently. Walls are very thin... Not the nicest place I've stayed in New Orleans but considering price I paid during high season travel time I felt it was a positive experience.

Cafe Maspero's. If you haven't been there- go. And eat the french onion soup. I love this place. Crave it. Actually will plan a trip to NOLA just to eat at some of my favorite places.

The hotel was not what I expected being in the heart of the french quarter, It was too expensive for the ammenities it had. It is close to most of the activities.

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.
