Wonderful

The roof was leaking, reception didn’t respond well, they said the byways you are leaving in the morning so we will fix it for the next guest, no apology, nothing. Just the name game that you didn’t inform early or it was timely conveyed. The
Suite was clean, Rebecca at the front was so helpful, and we were close to everything! Parking was secured and gated. Def staying here on our next trip
Clean comfortable room. Convenient parking and location is ideal for our needs. This will be a top choice for future NOLA vacations. Rebecca at the front desk is a treasure. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful front desk staff. Housekeeping was responsive to the very need.
Great staff. So friendly! Room was awesome! It was spotless and pretty updated while keeping a feeling of Old New Orleans. Will definitely stay here every time I stay in New Orleans

This hotel is old with some new modification. Furnishings are eclectic, atmosphere historical. Best to get inner room due to street noise traditions. Good location to access most French Quarter highlites. Staff very courteous. Recommend yes.

The room is pretty basic. The heat/air is controlled by maintenance which was a pain. The temp in the room was set to 77 on heat and we could not turn it off. Even in the winter 77 is a bit excessive. Could use a desk instead of the table that was in the room. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Coffee all day would be great especially since there is a full working kitchen tha isn't being used and it is winter time.
Nice spot in the quarter. Within walking distance without being in the middle of the hectic areas. Clean hotel. The gentleman working the front at night was quite friendly & helpful
Charming older hotel that's been refurbished. Wonderful staff. Great location. There were two downsides: the heating in our room wasn't adequate to keep our room warm. And, although the hotel has elevators, you will have to haul your luggage up a few stairs to get into the hotel and to your room.

All was as expected. This is an old building with all the charm that comes with it. We will be back.
Very old boutique type hotel in the French Quarter. Rooms were nice and large but in need of renovation, the beds were creaky and the shower curtain didn’t cover the shower well and the whole bathroom floor was wet every time.
