Charming older hotel that's been refurbished. Wonderful staff. Great location. There were two downsides: the heating in our room wasn't adequate to keep our room warm. And, although the hotel has elevators, you will have to haul your luggage up a few stairs to get into the hotel and to your room.

The room was clean and spacious. It was a very convenient location. Staff was welcoming and friendly. The only thing was that there was no mirror in the room (there was a half mirror in the bathroom). It made getting ready slow since we were sharing the room. Apart from that, I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.

This is a great hotel if you are looking for a basic hotel in downtown New Orleans. The pool was average. There is no alcohol at the bar. No food or drink. The rooms were very basic. The balcony opened to a side street. Desk clerks were nice.
