The walls were incredibly thin; otherwise, a great spot.
While the staff, room, balcony, and amenities were great, I can only give this place 3 stars because the walls were incredibly thin. We had to call the front desk twice on our stay to have them go to a nearby room to tell them to turn the TV down or to stop talking so loudly.
We have stayed twice before and had a much bigger room, and better location of room. This room was small and on ground floor right beside a street- noisy at times . Love the hotel though and will be back. Staff were helpful and professional.

A spacious hotel room - clean environment and walkable to so many great places in the French Quarter. Free morning coffee was available 7-10am but no fresh milk only gross chemical creamers in those never go stale plastic pods. The staff was very friendly.
Yes the room was very clean ♥️and spacious it was an old building but kept up very nice and beautifully decorated ♥️and the service desk person in the front desk was the sweetest lady ♥️Sadly I cannot remember her name she had the cutest accent and was just amazing help
Would highly recommend this place everyone was very accommodating it was pouring and raining and cold and everyone just very helpful 🙏
AND
they gave free bottled water to drink which was amazing ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
I went on a Norwegian cruise which is why l was in this beautiful ♥️hotel
and
I had to pay $4.00 dollars a bottle which I was very upset— first time ever ever ever I’ve been on a cruise liner and I had to pay for my water even though I had the drink package—😡😡
Hope you visit this beautiful hotel ,service was amazing and very old and nicely decorate
Good luck everyone on your trips 🙏♥️🙏
