Beautiful Hotel

Everyone was extremely kind and helpful with very quick response to requests. The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. We were also surprised at how quiet it is considering the area.

Substandard but Historical

Not especially clean, TV didn't work, short on amenities, average place with a great location. Staff wasn't very welcoming or accommodating. It's "historic" so the floors creek, sounds echo, you can hear everyone from the hall close their doors and talk while awaiting the elevator, the pool and lounge area were nice but the interior balcony views have an abandoned lot as an eyesore. The doors have digital keys that are only accessable through their slow website. We won't be staying here again.

This is my fourth stay at this property, obviously it’s a satisfactory experience. Best part, they offer off street parking for $45…so your car is off the street safe. Self park on property, not valet. Best kept secret. There is a small enjoyable breakfast spot just behind the hotel called “Envie”. Homemade biscuits, eggs … and other hot foods. The bacon & biscuits were exquisite. All made to order. If you want pastries, croissants or sandwiches….this is your go to. Delicious The rooms are new, simple, comfortable, tile floors, a valuable safe, mini fridge….and wonderful bed to accommodate from those long French Quarter walks. It’s off the beaten path…still in the French Quarter…but away from the hustle of Bourbon Street. Amazing staff, Becky, Marisol …all exceptional hospitality stars. Thank you for another stay !!!!

I lovingly referred to our hotel as “ghostly”, meaning it had an old New Orleans vibe. The only challenge was the room needed a microwave for heating up leftovers. A small microwave was provided at poolside.

The pre-checking is not worth it. You spend a lot of time doing it only to have to wait at the lobby anyway to check in again. It took a while. The front desk service is great and the hotel is kitschy and cute. The room is well laid out and clean, also spacious. The hotel is located in a good location in downtown NOLA.

The honeymoon sweet is very large considering the older style of hotel. Rooms were very clean, comfy bed, large shower. Hotel is closer to French street and French Market which makes it nice and quiet. Bourbon St. is about 20 minute walk. Everything is walking distance and Uber is easy to get. Gladly stay again.

Mixed Experience - Some positives but disappointing surprises. While the staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and the parking was convenient — which I appreciated — there were several issues that took away from the overall experience. The bar and restaurant were closed, and there was no mention of this on any booking site. That lack of transparency was disappointing, especially since I specifically booked there for on-site pool amenities. Additionally, I had to move rooms because the air conditioning in my original room was not working. Although the staff did attempt to address the issue, the move happened after three attempts to rectify the issue, and only after I requested it — no accommodations were offered proactively. Although the hotel itself was quiet and tidy, the street noise was a constant issue — loud even in the middle of the night and early morning, which made it hard to get restful sleep. Another downside was the cost. For what I paid, the room is overpriced compared to other nearby hotel options. While I understand New Orleans can be pricey during certain weekends, the value just was not there in this case. The pictures do not match reality: This is a 3-star hotel at best and my total costs were more than 4-star hotels in the area. Overall, while there are some positives, I would not stay here again unless some of these issues are addressed.

I stayed with my family (2 adults and 2 teens). We had a great time and enjoyed the hotel very much! Love the history. Great price too. Very convenient location! The pool area was really nice and the staff was very kind and helpful. Rooms were renovated and clean. We loved the 2 bedroom suite. Plenty of room and great closet space. Our only complaint would be the lack of mirrors. Maybe add a full length mirror in the closet. And hopefully the bar will reopen soon? We will definitely be back.
