Lost power for over 5 hours. Showered by my cell phone flashlight. No compensation or bonus (no free breakfast or anything else offered for inconvenience). Other than that perfect stay.

We loved this little 18-room hotel, with a coffee shop and mini museum on the main floor. To get to the French Qrtr, just go across Basin St. and you're there. Highly recommend this gem!
