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 experience was nice. The staff were friendly. The breakfast was average. Perhaps our housekeeper was rushing to get our room ready but our shower wasn’t the cleanest.besides that, the room was very comfortable. My wife and I loved how close to everything we were. We don’t mind walking and so we were able to walk to Bourbon and Canal Street within 10 minutes. The parking in the area is expensive. The hotel doesn’t have their own free parking, only an expensive valet service. We paid for street side parking on the first day then found a free spot the next day. We stayed there for the last 2 days. We always felt safe. All in all it was a great experience.

We had no hot water the entire time and heard that other hotel rooms didn't even have water. They couldn't put us in a new room because they didn't have any available. The best thing about this place was Moa the receptionist from Nicaragua, he was so amazing and helpful and he gave us the BEST recommendations for food & drinks. Also the suite room that has two bedrooms was huge and had plenty of space. Just no warm water.
