Studio room was an excellent choice & the hotel was close to everything. Super clean, great views, friendly staff, quiet rooms and felt very safe. An unexpected downside was upon departure, the hotel charged an additional $88 total per room for a 5 night stay on top of Expedia's $112 total tax for both rooms, saying it was an undercharged tax fee.

The room size was comfortable, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were a great touch, offering beautiful city views. The staff truly stood out, providing exceptional hospitality and friendliness throughout our stay. Breakfast was enjoyable, though it could benefit from a bit more variety. The hotel’s location is excellent, within walking distance of the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and Canal Street. The only drawback was the city noise, but we were able to manage it using soundscapes on YouTube. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

The property was very clean to include lobby areas, hallways and the rooms. The breakfast was limited as they didn’t have meats during my 4day stay but did serve your typical continental breakfast options otherwise. I did NOT like that the room did not have a mirror outside of the bathroom as there is nowhere to look at your full body when getting dressed which was extremely annoying since the bathroom mirror is waist up access. Otherwise I loved the hotel, the location and the service of everyone.

Breakfast is just average, Most of the staff was nice but two of the women at the front desk are just awful. The room was fluffed every day, not cleaned just fluffed, better than nothing. Manager tried,I guess to make things better, but it wasn't enough for the way the check in was handled by the older woman at the front desk. She made this a bad place to be for 5days. I was made to feel unwelcome, she told me I would just have to figure it out and find a new hotel. This all because she refused to believe she was putting in a bank card number wrong. Only thing done to " make it right" was to still charge me extra money after we left.

Good except: 1) breakfast was a joke-closing at 9am, 2/5 days no coffee and 2/5 days no milk in espresso machine, out of pastries, out of eggs…. 2) fire evacuation - we walked down 16 flights of stairs, pushed open the 1st floor exit door to find ourselves in an indoor construction site! Very unsafe if evacuating. 3) they take $80 a day ‘in case’ and refund it 5 bus days after check out. Could do better

At check in, there was one associate with six guests and the phone ringing endlessly. Decisions are made by our reception. These young people did not seem trained in hospitality. They functioned with the tasks. But, some manager should be reassigned for not supporting at the desk. When I was checking out, one person at the desk with a guests with a credit card issue...it went on and on....a line of 8 guests formed. When the associate was asked if there was more help, she said no . We all know all decisions come thru the desk. Could you get the front desk manager to support with answering the phone or helping at the desk. The desk is the weakest link of my experience. I stayed 2 nights. Breakfast is wonderful. The rooms are beautiful. But, oneply toilet paper is insulting. Get some assistance to the front desk. That is your issue.
