The hotel is perfectly placed between the Superdome and the Morial Convention Center, offering a convenient location for exploring downtown New Orleans. The welcoming doormen enhance the large, well-located property. However, the stay slightly spoiled our New Orleans holiday.

The hotel was cozy and perfect for the two of us, spotless, but the rooms were small and loud. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, polite, prompt, and professional, making the service top-notch. Its location was perfect, close to all the action but far enough to avoid the noise. Dining options were limited, though the homemade pizza was a standout. The facilities were adequate, making for a comfortable stay.

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel and would recommend it for extended stays. The rooms were spotless, but I was occasionally awakened throughout the night by flushing toilets and crying babies. The gurgling and spitting hot water was a bit bothersome, though.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and had a comfortable bed, TV, and a lovely hot shower available at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday at no extra charge. The staff, especially Li-Chinna Smith at the front desk and Gary Frazer as a bellman, were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was ideal, close to the city center and historic region, while still being in a more laid back area. The dining experience was okay but could have been better, offering traditional regional homemade products. Overall, a clean, comfortable, and friendly place to stay with a few minor cons to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while a little small, were spacious enough with a separate living area, but they could use some updates. The service was incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially after encountering a minor issue with an employee. The location was ideal for exploring the French Quarter, near enough to attractions but away from the noise. Dining options were limited and not very impressive. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was perfect for exploring the lively French quarter without being disturbed by the noise. However, the rooms were a bit cramped for three people, lacking space to even pull out the desk chair. The lack of fridges or microwaves also posed some inconvenience, although the service was generally friendly and memorable.

I couldn't be happier with my hotel choice. The suite they provided me was large, comfortable, and incredibly well-furnished. Although the rooms are a tad small, it wasn't a major issue for me. The service here was exceptional, open, and truly five-star quality. The staff went above and beyond, providing us with all the information we needed to navigate New Orleans with ease. Plus, the valet parking was a convenient bonus. The hotel's location is just idyllic; it's so pretty that I wish the breakfast mirrored that beauty. Being a few blocks away from Bourbon Street allowed us to easily walk over and retreat whenever we wanted. The proximity to Bourbon Street and the WW2 museum was fantastic, making it an ideal spot for Mardi Gras parades. Dining options were a bit hit or miss; surrounded by fantastic restaurants within walking distance, the continental breakfast was a bit chaotic due to a field trip group, and the selection was a bit lacking. On the bright side, there were thin crispy fries that satisfied my cravings. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything one could need for a comfortable stay. Despite minor setbacks, such as the limited breakfast selection and small rooms, the overall experience was truly wonderful at this hotel.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. Despite some room issues facing the building next door, the prices were very competitive. The rooms, although a little dated, were spotlessly clean. The service was generally great, from check-in until check-out, except for the housekeeping staff's occasional distractions. The location was superb, within walking distance to many attractions and yet very quiet. The dining options were limited and not worth the $3 cost. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The old world charm of the rooms facing the back of the hotel, nestled against another building, added a unique touch we found delightful. The room was spacious, in great condition, and had a cozy ambiance. However, the dining options were a letdown, offering only basic continental fare at an additional cost. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to assist at every turn.

The hotel rooms were warm even though the A/C was adjusted from the transformer in the room; they were clean and convenient, but exposed to the traffic flashing camera which flashed all night long. The service was super and very friendly, offering recommendations for places to eat, drink, and visit. The location couldn't be beaten, within walking distance to the French Quarter and near all the downtown attractions, although not close to many restaurants. The dining prices were high, with some items being overpriced, while the facilities overall were adequate. The staff was great to work with, although they tended to blame issues on external factors sometimes.

The hotel is ideally located, just a short stroll from the French Quarter, offering a peaceful retreat from the lively Bourbon Street. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, though lacking a historic ambiance. The service is exceptional, particularly thanks to the helpful and knowledgeable staff members.

The hotel offers average but clean and functional rooms, equipped with spacious bathrooms and a good Wi-Fi connection, in a quiet environment. However, due to events in the area, my room seemed to have been given to someone else. The service was inconsistent, ranging from a nasty attitude to over-the-top greatness. Valet parking was convenient. The location was excellent, close to popular spots like Bourbon Street, the WWII museum, and the French Quarter.
