This historic inn really gives you the flavor of the French Quarter. The building is from 1805, and it is a short walk to Bourbon Street and other major sites. Being so old, there were some issues: the wifi still wasn't back after a hurricane and the shower lacked hot water. Still, those are minor inconveniences, and I loved my stay.

Our entire stay was phenomenal. There are only 2 things that I can say negatively about this property. The pool is super small and the water pressure coming from the sink was very little. The water pressure in the shower was fine.

The location was great. It’s a half block away from Bourbon street. Close to be able to walk to almost everything we did. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was nice. Only complaint was the bathroom was small. Not much space to put toiletries. Shower was narrow and no waste basket in bathroom. The shower pressure was amazing!! Pool is small but we did t use as it was chilly when we were there. Nice courtyard area for pool. Would definitely stay there again.
