Very clean and nice staff. Liked the digital keys and that they locked the front door at night. Felt safe and secure. Wished the bar was open at the time we were there, but it was under renovations so that's not a knock on the hotel. Liked how it was in the French Quarter and walking distance to everything. Definitely would stay there again.

Stayed here in 2020 before Covid hit. Had a lively bar and fantastic full service breakfast restaurant with the best banana pancakes. We checked in— no bar, no food, all closed. Very sad and disappointed as I brought my family to enjoy what I had experienced before.

Each time my husband & I visit New Orleans this is the only hotel we stay at. It is in walking distance to many places to eat, shop, hear live music and just enjoy the energy of the French Quarters. The staff is ALWAYS friendly & welcoming. It's a true gem nestled on Chartres!

A chance for a stay in the older areas of New Orleans. Many attractions within a 15 to 30 minute walk. An older building that has been nicely refurbished but still maintaining an air of historical significance. Rooms were very large and comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful.
