It was good for one night. Clean and quiet, but old. They give you an actual key and remote and you have to turn it in or you don’t get back the deposit. Front desk lady was nice. Didn’t feel like it was very safe at night.
Stay here a lot (in town every month or so) clean, comfortable, safe and priced tight!

When the entry door shows repeated efforts to break in, it's a bad sign. But this is a motel showing good effort to improve things and the staff were very helpful. Some of the oddities involve an actual key, you have to return the remote upon check-out, and an antique bathtub. But overall a good value stay.
Honestly the only two bad things I can imagine about this place was parking was tight in the room got pretty humid if you turned the AC above 68. The staff especially the guy at the front counter was really amazing and respectful.
The room clearly showed signs of needing to be updated in the sense that we noticed the faucets leaked a little bit and the tub held water only for about 5 to 10 minutes as it simply drains the water even though the stopper was in place. First night discovered that the floor sweats hence the humidity part if the room is above 68 especially if you use the shower with hot water and don't close the bathroom door. The only other thing we saw that was unsettling was in looking at the door you can clearly tell it doesn't sit completely sealed. Once the lights were out in the room you can clearly see the lights from outside through the cracks in the door where it was offset. Was no big issue to us but this definitely led to the humidity in the room.
With that being said about the room there was Zero problems. No bugs of any kind no electrical issues no issues with the water temperature. The bed was firm but still comfortable. We were both thankful for the pleasant experience.
Also one more shout out to the guy at the front desk who knows his way around New Orleans and some really good spots to just enjoy relaxing.

It was ok. The room was clean. Staff was ok. The TV remote didn't work. It served its purpose. Checked in late and left early the next morning. Was just a one night stay.
Wonderful staff and excellent service! 10/10
There was an issue with my Expedia booking that wasn’t really anyone’s fault, just one of those things that happen. What stood out was how the staff handled it. They didn’t make excuses or push blame..they stepped in and helped me get things sorted. Management made sure I was taken care of, and that meant a lot. You can tell they actually care about guests, not just the business.
