French Quarter proximity cannot be beat
We enjoyed our stay. You are close to Jackson Square and the usual tourist places. You are also close to some local spots, including Frenchman Street and fringes of the Quarter where the real world lives. The hotel was dealing with a few challenges including a huge HVAC engine running constantly 24x7 during our entire stay. Thankfully we had a courtyard room which saved us from the noise. The continental breakfast was quite modest, with a few pasties, cereal, yogurt and coffee. The addition of some fresh fruit, a few more juices would have been great. The room was great, comfortable bed and nice sitting area. The sink top and shower control value were not properly attached. The hotel has no parking and parking is expensive in the French Quarter. Going forward I would not invest in a rental car unless you know you are taking a trip. We spent as much on parking as we did the rental car for 5 days! All in all a great value; and sure to improve on the little things that would make it a 5 start recommendation.

Birthday get-away
I got this vacation as a birthday present for my boyfriend. The location was great, however, the bed was con-caved and we could hear a pin drop in the room right next door to us. It was very clean and well kept, though.

Great Location and that's about it
Very noisy construction works being carried out opposite with a very large mobile generator running 24/7. Not the hotel's fault, I know, but not great. No elevator to the 3rd floor, which was a bit of a struggle with suitcases. Received charges for 'goodness knows what' on my credit card - only noticed on return from long vacation, so will be posing the question - prepaid through travel agent, so wasn't expecting any additional costs. Room was tiny, even small by European standards, and not what we normally get in the USA. Staff were friendly enough, but nothing spectacular, and it seemed a different person on the front desk every day, so no continuity. In retrospect, wish I'd paid the extra couple of dollars to stay in a slightly more up-market establishment - there are quite a few in the immediate vicinity. Disappointed.

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
New Orleans seems to have a larger than average number of 'scammers', i.e. people who want to take your money from you for no significant return. Watch out for the 'shoe shine scam'. Man says 'nice shoes' and before you know it, he's rubbing silicone into them and trying to charge you twenty bucks for the privelage. Also, the 'free hat' number. Usually starts as you cross a road and someone with a very stern face advises that you're not allowed to - when you look surprised, they respond with 'without a jack daniels in your hand', or 'without a smile' or somesuch rubbish. They then offer you a free hat, for which they expect over the odds recompense - depending on intimidation to get you to part with your money. Other than that, nice town.

First time in New Orleans
Hotel was very nice and staff was beyond helpful. Some cons were no elevator (we were on the third floor) and the bed was a bit to soft for my liking. But I would definitely stay there again.

A good place to stay
The hotel is conveniently located if the French Quarter is going to be one's center of sight seeing. The rooms are clean and the art deco interiors are well done. Not a spectacular place by any means. It met the needs of someone who was out and about all day. Do not expect any thing more than an arrangement of pastries and hot beverages as far as the complimentary breakfast. I could not find drinking water anywhere in the breakfast area. I had an issue with the shower not dispensing hot water. It took two complaints at the front desk, and was fixed on my third morning.

Check out Napoleon House right next door. You can pretty much stalk the place to find out when the lines are not long, and afford to stay there very late.

Fantastic French Quarter location
Have made many trips to New Orleans, all for weekend getaways or to attend certain music festivals that N.O. have. First time in this hotel. Very enjoyable experience. Very quaint, small hotel. Rooms are small but updated and clean. This the best way to enjoy the French Quarter. We lived in N.O. many years ago and continue to come back. Only to minor negatives. Still no elevator, but not really a problem. No bath tub (wife loves her bath tub) and no provision for parking by the hotel; you have to find your own. There is Central Parking Co. lot next door where you can park overnight for $35 if a place is available. The location cannot be beaten. Two blocks from Jackson Square. We loved it.
