Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms showed a lot of wear and tear, giving off a not-so-clean vibe, but they were a good size with an interesting balcony for people-watching. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make my trip memorable. The location was ideal, close to Bourbon Street but in need of some improvements to match higher standards. The dining options were decent but could use more variety. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel is perfectly located in the French Quarter, making it easy to enjoy the area's charm and attractions. However, the rooms show significant wear and tear, impacting the overall cleanliness and comfort. The early morning noise from the fitness center nearby can be disrupting, despite management's attempts to address it.
The hotel's location is the best thing about it, being in the heart of New Orleans. However, the rooms show signs of wear and tear and could be cleaner, making the stay less enjoyable. The service was friendly but sometimes seemed disorganized. The dining options were limited, but the friendly staff made up for it. The facilities were decent, but some areas needed improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location was fantastic, being on a quiet street near Bourbon Street, which was convenient. However, the room quality was disappointing as we could hear conversations from other guests all night. The service was friendly but had some issues, like charging my card twice and not being able to provide clear information.
Although the hotel is ideally located in the quarter, my stay was marred by the noise from the fitness center next to my room every morning, disrupting our vacation. The management offered a discount, but it didn't fully compensate for the disturbance. The upgrade to a junior suite showed wear and tear, leaving me uncertain about the room's cleanliness and maintenance.
The hotel's trendy rooms at the $800 rate were not exactly my style, but they had a fun vibe. The lack of reading lights by the bed meant using a cellphone if one wanted to read while their partner slept. The public areas' design was nice, and the service was top-notch with attentive staff like Jonathan. The location was excellent for exploring the French Quarter, though some noise from early morning cleaning could be heard. The dining options were limited, with almost non-existent amenities, but the facilities were serviceable overall.
