The location is perfect; however, I booked the hotel based on multiple reviews of how quiet the facility was even though it was around the corner from Bourbon Street. We had a streetside balcony room and it was extremely noisy at all hour’s both morning and night! There is a barricade that is raised or lowered depending on street closure, we had to listen to EVERY SINGLE CAR cross a metal plate when it was lowered. Trash collectors come daily at 5:30am, street cleaning at 8am, both are very noisy. The hotel is traditional in decor and centrally located, but very misleading reviews about how quiet it is. If you book a room in the courtyard, maybe that would maintain a quiet area, however, that is not how hundreds of reviews are written.
