Room was relatively clean, some surface area cleaning in bathroom shower was needed. Front desk staff was friendly. Parking is obtained primarily in a next-door garage so be prepared to pay by the hour/day. It is less expensive than the valet service. I would recommend paying for the 24-hour option (via a ground floor type-in kiosk) as it is the most economical, then you can come and go as you please. It started over the weekend at $30/day, then went to $20/day during the week.

Room was clean and very spacious, staff was friendly, breakfast has good variety. The rooftop area was quite nice. The location was a 15 min walk from the French Quarter. There were no ice machines for guest use but the front desk gave us ice. The showers did not have doors so the bathroom floor got wet, and the towels, although clean, did not feel or smell fresh.

This hotel will scam you if you valet park there. I paid to valet and immediately began receiving parking notices saying I owed money. By the time I left my charges were almost 100 dollars. I called the hotel twice to have them fix this and they only put you on hold, say they have nothing to do with it, and finally transfer you to a number that doesn’t exist. You have to call the actual parking company and prove that you paid the hotel to have the charges removed. Another part of the scam… they didn’t even register my valet ticket so when I tried to retrieve my car, it said there was no car, no reservation. Had to spend 40 minutes for a valet person to show up and dig through all of the keys so I could ry to match it and get my car.

James, orlando

When we arrived, we were told our room had been given away, even though we had paid for it through Expedia. They downsized us from a one bedroom to an efficiency, then tried to tell us it was the same cost. After much discussion, they offered a $34.00 refund. We noticed in the room only one nightstand for a king bed, the phone didn’t work, there was no shampoo or body wash in the shower (only hair conditioner). There were coffee supplies, but no coffee packets. The efficiency was so small, we had to turn sideways to pass each other at the foot of the bed. Also the closet had no door. We had to go to the front desk, or call by cellphone, to get everything we needed. Also we blew a bathroom fuse with just the light on & their hairdryer. We would not recommend this hotel, nor will we ever stay here again. There are too many very nice places to stay in New Orleans!!
