Very good

In the first room we were in, the toilet hadn't even been flushed, much less cleaned. I went to take a shower, giving the other a once off, just to find hair and other things in the tub.. Needless to say, we ended up in a second room.....

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
We have stayed here once about 7 years ago, and since then they have remodeled the property. Obviously they have made a lot more rooms, but at the expense of making them smaller. The hallways are a maze, hard to find your way around. Our room’s only window looked out into a hallway. The water pipes in the wall made extremely loud noises, very disturbing during the night. The staff was very kind and accommodating, but the remodeled hotel leaves a lot to be desired.
We arrived at 11pm, and that night's room had a sour smelling bathroom, like wet old towels. We also couldn't tell what kind of neighborhood we were in in the dark. First thing in the morning, we asked for a different room, and soon moved. We had a terrific experience from then on. The bathroom was clean, no odors, AC worked, and it was quiet! We felt safe walking around during the day, the neighborhood was great and the WWII Museum was a 3 minute walk away!
Front desk people were exceptionally helpful.
I waited for over 30 minutes for someone to check me in . The rooms were clean enough , but somewhat small . Breakfast was less than adequate . I understand that it was a busy weekend , but staff seemed unprofessional with their attitudes.I would suggest looking at other options .
Stayed here to catch some Mardi Gras parades. Great choice for Mardi Gras. At the end of the routes so my kids made out like bandits as far as throws go.
The staff was very pleasant to communicate with. They weren’t afraid to explain where things were in the city. It made our experience very comfortable. We will stay again if we are every back in this area!
The room was so humid that our bedding was damp, and it did not cool down the whole night. When maintenance came and looked, water was dripping out of the ceiling. We switched rooms and in the second room, the tub was chipped and cracked, and there was water damage on the ceiling in the room. The staff was very accommodating but ultimately we had to move hotels. We did receive a full refund for our stay which was appreciated.
It was so hot in this hotel I couldn’t sleep. In addition they didn’t clean the room everyday like they were suppose too. It would have been okay if I could sleep at night but it was so hot that is what the hotel unbearable.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Bunk-bed was unique and a big hit with the kids. Area surrounding the hotel sketchy, and all parking is expensive.
