I enjoyed my stay, it was my first-time visiting New Orleans I took my boyfriend for his birthday, his first-time also. The staff was truly welcoming, friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. I would stay at the AC again

Great place and conveniently located to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. I was disappointed because I did pay for the added breakfast option but when I checked in, they did not say anything about where that was or what the hours were. I remembered on the last morning to check and I saw that I did at breakfast. I went down but it ended at 10 and I got down there at 9:59 am and was turned away. I feel like the reminder should have been included upon check-in. My room was also right by the elevator and was fairly loud on and off as people came and went throughout the night. I would stay there again, but hopefully not by the elevator.

Very clean facility.

Facility was clean. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five stars is because the television in my room didn't work.

Close to French Quarter, with lots of restaurants and amenities nearby. Rooms are on the smaller side, but not tiny. Basic necessities were available, room quiet and beds comfortable. Would recommend for proximity to surrounding areas and local streetcars.

The staff was very friendly, kind and helpful.... Everyone smiled and always asked if things were going ok for us. The hotel is not far from Bourbon Street but just far enough where we could get good sleep so we could go enjoy Bourbon Street the next day, also next block had a couple local eateries that had drink specials and played good music
