They wouldn’t give me a refund for one night. We left a day early due to a severe tropical storm. Flooding was predicted and we were advised to take caution. We didn’t feel safe and wanted to go more inland. Be careful booking with this hotel. Especially when there is bad weather. I think it’s disgusting that we spent over 500$ here and we couldn’t get anything back for just one night. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Stayed for 3 nights for a 21st birthday trip. Loved the location and its easy access to the quarter shops and restaurants. The property is a lovely historical building with a Tiki bar off of the lobby. We really enjoyed cooling off after a long day in the courtyard pool. We loved staying here and we will definitely come back again.

We loved the location. We loved the helpfulness of the staff. Shopping/dining are nearby. Great value. Only issue- the restaurant that is connected to the hotel was not open most of the time. Closed Wed normally then closed on Thurs due to weather no rain. No breakfast at the hotel( but plenty of places nearby) When we asked, we were told that it is not owned by the hotel and they set their own hours.

We got there early and receptionist said they would call us when the room is ready. Never got a call. When we went back to check in, got a room key went in and there was other people in the room already!! Elevator was malfunctioning and had to press the button to go up even if you want to go down. No AC in the elevator it was a super hot box. Location was good far enough off Bourbon Street, but still close to everything.

Very Nice and Quaint

Service was pristine from the valet to the check-in. I did not realize that I arrived a couple minutes early, and the check-in lady was trying to kindly remind me that check-in was at 4PM. It was my fault, but there was a noce restaurant across the street i wanted to visit. They held my bags and called me when my room was ready. I did not particularly like the shared outdoor space upstairs. It was nice but had no view. I will try the King room with balcony next time.
