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.

See the star rating. Just not Taj Mahal. Too many thugs and shady people in check in. A/c does not work. WiFi does not work. No business center. No fitness center. No swimming pool. No lobby. No granite counter front desk. No carpeted stairways taking the stairs. The kitchen was filthy. The dishwashing detergent was tampered with. The crap on the counter next to Magnolia Trace toaster.

The hotel is very nice! The room was very spacious and cozy. The kitchenette was stocked with pots, pans, and kitchen utensils. The bathroom shower was the highlight of the stay, and the bed was super comfortable. My only complaint is with the WiFi… I did not have WiFi two out of the three days I stayed. Unfortunately since the wifi was out, my television also didn’t work since it ran on internet connection. So I wasn’t able to watch tv or use my laptop during my stay. I also thought it was odd they don’t have ice machines on each hall, but they do offer bags of ice to guest in the lobby, until they run out... Other than that, very nice hotel and I would stay here again!

Дуже гарний готель. Жили на третьому поверсі. Номер великий, охайний, чистий, є все необхідне. Спальня знаходиться в окремій кімнаті. Є також вітальня та велика кухня. Ванна кімната облаштована ванною. Балкона немає, але поруч з номером тераса для загального користування зі зручними кріслами та шезлонгами. Вхід до готелю, користування ліфтом та вхід на терасу тільки з застосуванням ключа-картки, що забезпечує безпеку мешканців. Розташування зручне, поряд з Французьким кварталом, 8 хвилин пішки до Бурбон стріт. Поряд є зупинки громадського транспорту. На жаль, готель не має безкоштовного паркування, але надає платну послугу з паркування. На час нашого перебування у вересні 2025 вартість паркування 47 доларів за добу. Номер бронювали заздалегідь з можливістю відмови, сплачували в день заселення. Готелем надаються безкоштовні сніданки: йогурти, варені яйця, омлет, ковбаски, пластівці, різні булочки, вафлі, фрукти. Кава та чай надаються протягом всього дня. В цілому, готелем задоволені.
