Comfy stay in the heart of NOLA

It’s a lovely hotel. Our double room looked out over the pool. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. We were away from the noise but very close to all the action the French Quarter has to offer. It was great to have the pool as NOLA was HOT! I’d suggest furnishing the rooms with an iron and ironing board so we dont have to call down for them but everything else was fab.

Seriously, I never post things like this but this was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I've ever had. The place is LITERALLY steps away from every attraction and area of interest, didn’t uber once, except to and from airport. The room and inner courtyard were both gorgeous, the staff treated me like an old friend, and it somehow managed to be peaceful and safe just steps from all the Bourbon craziness. What a fantastic place.
