Nothing to add……..exactly what we were looking for…..in the heart of the French Quarter…..Bourbon Street, Frenchmen Street……AMAZING hotel…..will definitely be back for a longer stay! Pool and pool are were GREAT!
I think the only thing I didn't like about the hotel is that you have to pay extra to swim in the pool. That is just crazy!

This is a great hotel if you are looking for a basic hotel in downtown New Orleans. The pool was average. There is no alcohol at the bar. No food or drink. The rooms were very basic. The balcony opened to a side street. Desk clerks were nice.
Perfect location away from the noise of Bourbon but still close enough to walk right there. Right by Jackson Square. Beautiful, cozy building and friendly staff. We loved having a little balcony!
Walk to everything from here. Parked the car and didnt need to use it. The rooms are great the pool very relaxing after a hot day in NOLA. Air con was superb and bed very comfortable.highly recommended
We would Def stay here again. Perfect location, just away from the hub bub, but super walkable. Solid property, clean, spaceous, great little pool, wonderful adult relaxed vibe. Helpful and friendly staff ! We really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Wish I would have known before booking the room that thee was no restaurant or bar on property. The rooms needs full size mirrors.
The property was well maintained with gated parking for safety. The room was very clean and comfortable. the shower had good pressure and was clean. The staff was fabulous and very knowledgeable. The location was conveniently situated within walking distance of popular places in the quarter. I am well pleased with the chouce to stay here and will do so again
in the future. I would definately recommend this hotel.
Great spot in the French Quarter, especially for a family of five. We had a big space to ourselves: 2 queens and a king and we were super comfortable. Conveniently located, easy to walk everywhere. Will definitely return.
Absolutely loved my stay here. It was my 24th time in the Big Easy but my first staying here. I will most definitely be coming back again. Thank you, Bob
