The staff was very friendly. Taylor at the front desk was very helpful as we were leaving. Room was clean and spacious.
Our room was gorgeous, we were on the third floor so we had our own private balcony. Second floor rooms have a shared balcony. Everything was wonderful, the staff was kind and helpful, the onsite parking was secure and safe. We were close enough to walk to most places we wanted to go but in a less busy area so there wasn’t a ton of noise at night. We would definitely stay here again.
About 15min walk from bourbon which wasnt bad. Our room waant cleaned the whole stay one day housekeeping came said she would return and never did. Rooma are spacious good shower but the way its built water travels to the floor, has low step.
Beds are comfortable. We stayed on 1st floor you can hear doors slamming all night and day. Not my first choice but probably would stay and maybe be on 2nd or 3rd. Not sure have elevator. Staff was ok.
We had a lovely stay with our two children. We had a first-floor corner room, a suite, but I wish we'd known that the living room didn't have a couch (it was two big antique chairs) and they didn't have any rollaway beds. Otherwise, it was a quaint and friendly hotel two blocks from the live music on Frenchmen Street.
Nice spacious room and very quiet. In a great location in the FQ and close to the Frenchman and Decatur street. Very friendly attentive staff also and would definitely stay here again!
This was a last minute booking for us, we booked 2 rooms, and to my happy surprise they were adjoining. This made it very convenient for us.
I have to give a huge shoutout to front desk Rebecca, she is the sweetest person, made us a priority every time she saw us. She was beyond happy and polite. She made our stay extra special. Thank you!! This hotel is so cute, can’t wait to go back when the bar is open.
The room was spotless and the staff were very nice. It was a pleasant stay and the location was ideal.

We loved this hotel. It was very convenient to attractions and in a safe area. The hotel itself was older but it had lots of character. I would definitely stay there again.
This hotel was so cute! I wanted a place that had character and an authentic New Orleans vibe, and that’s exactly what this hotel delivered. I adored having the balcony. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The front desk staff were very kind and friendly. I would stay here again!

Room was clean and comfortable. Great location and the staff were friendly. We’d have liked it to have more character in the rooms. It’s pretty sterile with no personality, but we’d stay there again.
