Great hotel. Large suite, modern bathroom. Friendly and very helpful staff. Area around the hotel is classic French Quarter. Bad sidewalks, all a little rundown looking. All the reasons to hang out in New Orleans!

The place for us.

This hotel is just blocks away from all the French Quarter action. Far enough away from the crazy crowds & noise. The pool provides a calming moment. Hotel staff was very friendly & accommodating.

I had a balcony room and as soon as you open, the balcony looked over the pool, and it looked like the homeless trashed out on the other side of the hotel, which you can see in the hotel was facing a burnt apartments so that is the only issue I have they probably just need to put a black netting for the people not to see them Side of the burnt apartment and also the trashed out area behind it.

Our family has stayed at this property for many years before it closed down. The hotel was wonderful under the previous owner. Our stay this time was disappointing; maybe not soo much disappointing as sad. No decor, no bar, no restaurant, no carpet in the rooms...so, sounds in the hallways reverberated, people coming into their rooms late into the night, very loud and hinders sleep for other guests. On a more positive note, our car was in the parking lot on the property, which was well worth the parking fee, restaurants and the French Market were close by.
