Loved this place! Our room had a few extra visitors but overall the atmosphere was very relaxing and homey. The staff were attentive and helped ensure all our concerns were addressed. We've recommended this place to others visiting the area and would love to come stay again. Our room was on the side of the cemetery but still worth it.

Room was nice enough, there wasn't much of a view. We were on the 3rd floor and didn't realize there was a banquet room above us. The chairs scraping above us was annoying. Thankfully the parties both Friday and Saturday ended early. Staff at the frontdesk were super sweet and helpful.

The hotel's location is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to all places we wanted to visit during our trip to NOLA; so, we didn't have to rent a car. The hotel is inside a shop/museum and its vibes are very upbeat. You can also learn about and purchase all the great tours available in New Orleans. Our room was nice and clean, but the bathroom wasn't spotless.

There is not one thing I would change about this property. From the first visual of the property you feel comfortable and when entering you are welcomed by a cheerful and helpful front desk manager. Our room was exceptionally clean and charming. The location is perfect only a few blocks from Bourbon Street, Canal, and Saint Charles Ave. The price to stay at this property was reasonable. Definitely would stay again, I highly recommend this property.
