Be ready for lots of families with young children

Nice place in an area that's scenic but a bit crowded with people and other hotels. Lots of sometimes noisy children. Breakfast had plenty of variety but no fruit. Good for families -- not so much for couples in my opinion.

Our room was very clean and ready for us. The bed was comfortable and the sitting area was inviting. The ice-water in the lobby was a very welcome offering, and we filled our bottles daily! While we appreciate the "housekeeping on demand" approach taken, this was confounded by the fact that there are no towel racks in the bathroom. This makes it hard to go without service for more than a day.

Hair on the bathtub surround, bottom half of the toilet dirty, dusty bathroom and a dirt Band-Aid on the chair (on the balcony) and the most uncomfortable beds. this is coming from a former housekeeper (not this hotel) and reoccurring guest, I know they have done better.

Good for a Canal area visit

We had a nice stay at the Lift Bridge Lodge; the outdoor patio is lovely and there was a nice breakfast. The lodge is in a perfect location for enjoying the Canal Street area and there was adequate parking. The room is on the small size so families with children should expect to be cozy. It is also a challenge to bring in luggage because the ramp is long. Regardless, this is a good place to stay overall.
