The property had an awesome vibe about it and we had one of the rooms in the historic building and we’ll definitely do that again. Had some issues with the room but “Stormy” at the front desk was super sweet and got someone to our room to fix the issue immediately. Stormy was an amazing host and she did her best to make sure our stay was perfect!

Beautiful hotel, in a desirable location. It’s close to the action, but far away enough to avoid the excessive noise the French quarter can cause. The hotel itself is stylish and well-maintained. The restaurants inside it are also wonderful for a quick bite. We would love to stay again next time we’re in the area!
