This being New Orleans, the hotel is actually in a secluded part, which makes it safer than most of the areas I drove through when wandering about. You get a secured parking lot, though I didn't see the gate close whenever I stepped out.
Check-in is smooth; the rooms are all on the ground level, and you can park at an exit near your room, so the walk is never too long.
The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The bed was comfortable, and the proximity to the downtown area, even despite being on the outskirts, is a huge plus. After exploring the area, I'm glad I booked here.
