Pretty disappointing visit. I've always enjoyed the rooftop bar and lower restaurant so I thought I'd try the hotel out on this trip. Upon check in, they didn't have a key for me. They use physical, metal keys and apparently the last guest had taken the key with them from what the front desk worker said. Also, security issue because they definitely didn't change the lock. Every time I wanted to access my room, either the engineer or the front desk worker would have to come with the master key to let me into my room which became really annoying after a few times. It wasn't until late into the second day of my stay until they remade me a key. Other complaints, I asked for an ironing board as my room didn't have one and never came and the safe didn't work. With all the great hotels around NOLA, don't waste your time with this one.

We had problems from check-in til we left. Disabled room we did not need or request so couldn’t hang up our clothes and no closet or shower door; the room was shabby and the bathroom dirty, as was the hallway; we had no maid service for three days despite complaining so the trash cans were overflowing and we had to use towels for three days; hotel staff nonexistent and any request for help was ignored; only one functioning elevator so had to wait long periods of time to get from our room to the ground; no room amenities at all so had to walk three blocks to get coffee in the morning; only one room key per room which is a safety issue for two people—- it just goes on and on. We finally checked in to a hotel down the street for the last nite. A nightmare. They are so interested in pushing their rooftop bar which makes them money they could not care less about hotel guests. And then we had the pleasure of paying over $2000 for this disaster. Do NOT stay at this place.

Great experience for an enchanting old world New Orleans feel. The establishment has two wonderful bars with excellent live music, one of the bars is on the rooftop, a delicious breakfast cafe and a fabulous restaurant:The Jack Rose. I have already recommended it to others and will stay again if I get to go back Just DONT lose your key...$250 replacement fee! ( I managed to find mine, but I was so stressed out about it.

do not stay in room 202. there is a sound similar to the sound of an washing machine that is spinning unblanaced. it went on for 48 hours straight. Then it became intermittent. I informed the front desk. They said they would contact maintenance. That was day 1. Nothing happned. Day 2 I asked to speak to the manager. They said the manager was not in but that they would contact me. Nothing happened. I asked the staff to come to the room to listen to the sound, they said they couldn't leave the front desk. (There were two staff members there at the time.) Day 3, I complained again about the noise. Nothing. They also ignored basic requests. I asked for 4 towels for the 4 people in our room. I got 3 towels. I asked for a towel or bathrobe hook on the bathroom door. (There had been one before, but there was only a hole there at the time we were there. It is hard to hang 4 towels on one small towel rack over the toilet.) Nothing happened. The onsite bar, coffee shop and restaurant are good. The staff at the front desk is unfriendly to the point of being rude. 5 days and not a single smile from any of them. I wouldn't stay there again simply because of the unfriendly employees at the front desk and their lack of willingness to help their guests. They do not care.
