Very clean facility.

Facility was clean. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five stars is because the television in my room didn't work.

Close to French Quarter, with lots of restaurants and amenities nearby. Rooms are on the smaller side, but not tiny. Basic necessities were available, room quiet and beds comfortable. Would recommend for proximity to surrounding areas and local streetcars.

The staff was very friendly, kind and helpful.... Everyone smiled and always asked if things were going ok for us. The hotel is not far from Bourbon Street but just far enough where we could get good sleep so we could go enjoy Bourbon Street the next day, also next block had a couple local eateries that had drink specials and played good music

Manager was nice. Inside was a bit wanting. Breakfast too expensive. Audacity to expect $26 for coffee. “Coffee pot is put out into lobby only after breakfast.” So I had to buy a $6 coffee across the street before going out for a run at 7:30 am. I had breakfast for $26 on day 1 for its convenience. Nice hot eggs but on day 2, the gall of the morning reception to state the policy was $26 for just a cup of coffee was beyond and shocked the conscience. I depleted in room coffee by declining room service day 1, and used it up on day 0, afternoon of arrival on red eye from Seattle. On Night 2, evening, night clerk declined to allow me to take a complimentary water up to my room; which had been allowed in friendliness on night 1 a because again, I had declined room service and bottles of water were taken to drink on day 0 (arrival). I also bought about $18 in snacks on the concession on night 0. This property needs some TLC and training on freebies to normal guests. The lady manager is doing a good job with what she’s got. Need some more staff training and I need a free hotel room with Marriott Bonvoy or AC for this below expectation experience. Thank you. At least everyone was hospitable, southern and polite, but you cannot reason or explain with some people. It makes perfect sense to me that coffee and water were depleted because I declined room cleaning on Morning 1. Please consider issuing a (partial) refund or offering a complementary night voucher. Thank you very much.

This is a great hotel in a fantastic location just one block from Bourbon Street. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean. It was unfortunate that they could not provide a remote for the tv (not that it really mattered as the French Quarter is much more interesting), that the room safe was not operable, and that the shower did not work too well. It is in an amazing location, convenient for the party animals, and those wanting to explore this amazing city. The St Charles Streetcar passes right by the hotel so convenience could not. E better. A little attention to detail and it would have been amazing.
