I love this property and the bar on the roof with a great view as well as the amazing restaurant downstairs. The lounge w the live jazz band is great too. Bar staff and the valet / door people / hostess were all really great. The front desk staff needed help and was not as welcoming some of the time. Some of the public facilities could be cleaner such as the lobby restroom which was a mess at 8am from the night prior bar crowd. Other than that great food great drinks and a welcoming door staff at all times. Highly recommend

The photos made me think there was more lounging with friends and family space in the hotel, but there is none of that at all. We were worried when we first arrived because it seemed like a loud, party-type of place, but our room was comfortable and we had no trouble sleeping. Luckily we found street parking nearby for our two vehicles as the hotel only offers valet and it is $55 per night per vehicle. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable with the only issues being very thin blankets on the beds and no fan in the bathroom. My daughter also wished there was an outlet in the hall near the full length mirror where she did her hair and makeup. Also: please put towel hooks right by the shower curtain. There is plenty of room for them.

I booked the hotel because of the world-class restaurant, but I failed to learn that nothing is open on Mondays and Tuesdays. We left on Wednesday morning. I paid for the room through Expedia, but was surprised by the New Orleans added taxes for Destination Amenity fees, Convention tax, tourist tax, state taxes, city taxes and parking taxes. What really irritated me was the tax on the total amount of taxes I paid.
