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.

Overall it was good value based on our other options in the area at the time. The location was within 20 minutes walking distance of all the areas we wished to see such as French Quarter, Jackson square, steam boat tours. Room was clean but plain and a little dated. They were busy with hotel maintenance during our stay showing a commitment to improvements. Breakfast was acceptable as a free breakfast with options including eggs, toast and bagels, cereals, but choices were limited. Checkin was one of the longest I have ever experienced at a hotel, with multiple issues with multiple guests before us and including us - such as not accepting deposit payment. Overall, I would stay there again since I saw it as good value for a place to sleep.

The staff with the exception of 1-2 individuals were unprofessional, inconsiderate and rude. They made me wait from 10:30 AM- 4:00 PM to check in. Many excuses were used but they lack of care an nonchalant attitude they carried was the worst. The manager was definitely defining the tone of his staff. Wry unacceptable.

My stay was pleasant overall. The suite was clean, comfortable, and quite spacious. Although there was some minor noise from the air conditioning and refrigerator, it didn’t affect my rest. The hotel’s location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Bourbon Street. A good choice for the price.

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a mostly pleasant experience. The night shift gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and kind—he truly made us feel welcome after a long day. The location was also convenient, just a short walk from both Canal Street and Bourbon Street, which made it easy to explore the area. There were a few areas that could use improvement. We had to request clean towels each day, as they were not automatically refreshed, and we also had to ask for bedding for the pull-out couch. The shower floor had a slight grayish tint, so housekeeping could be a bit more attentive to detail. Breakfast was included, and the staff working the area clearly worked very hard, but they struggled to keep items stocked during busy times. Overall, this hotel has friendly staff and a great location, but a few service and cleanliness improvements would make the stay even better.

Clean safe and big rooms. This would be a great long extended stay place because you have a stove and full size refrigerator. The only complaint is the person who answered the phone has no warmth or personality on the phone and when we checked in. The other complaint is waiting for valet to get our car and part of that is their garage is two blocks away. I would stay again and highly recommend it.
