The staff was courteous and helpful. The sofa bed had a very thin mattress and was impossible to sleep on. Our son had to sleep on the sofa without pulling out the bed. The room lacked adequate lighting and was not pristine.

Pros: staff is friendly, rooms are clean, convenient to a lot of good places Cons: beds are hard and uncomfortable, valet parking is really the only option and it’s very expensive, housekeeping needs 24 hours advance notice which is inconvenient

I will leave 5 stars with an asterisk. We checked in and they gave us room 252 which landed JUST above the lobby/automatic door leading to the other building. You will hear that door open and close 24 hours a day. Also, that particular side is quite loud with everyone checking in, hanging out by the courtyard, etc. Do yourself a favor and ask for a room that is on a higher floor and far away from that part of the building. Once we moved, the stay was much more pleasant. The bed was even softer in the new room. The toilet ran unless you jiggled the handle but otherwise, it was a great stay! Oh, also... the staff was SUPER friendly. Every single one. Thank you!!

The staffs were very nice and friendly. The room is spacious, clean and having a kitchenette with refrigerator was a big plus. Far enough from French Quarter noises, yet close enough to walk to it. Enjoyed our stay very much.

The mattresses were worn out and uncomfortable. The carpet was smelly and very dirty. There were cockroaches in the shower and housekeeping stole a pair or Lululemon pants. We had to check out and get another hotel

When we arrived around 6 p.m., our room was not ready, and we were told we would have to wait approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. There were no apologies or accommodations offered, just a card with instructions to call the manager in the morning with our concerns. I explained that we had nowhere to go because the streets were blocked off due to the parades, but that did not change the response. We were also told that the staff responsible for washing the towels and linens had walked out. Although we were able to get into our room after about an hour, we missed the beginning of the parade we had come to see. The room itself was spacious, but it had a musty odor. It did not feel properly cleaned, possibly due to the rush. The carpets were in terrible condition and clearly need to be shampooed. I have stayed at this hotel many times, but this was by far the worst experience I have had, and the condition of the room was the poorest I’ve encountered. The staff seemed nonchalant and unsympathetic throughout the situation. Improvements are definitely needed in both cleanliness and staffing.

I would have rated higher but the bed was hard, so I slept on the couch. A pipe in the ceiling sprung a leak so we had to move rooms. The manager said he was going to give us a basket and a voucher for a free night but it never happened. He shouldn’t have offered us this and then not delivered. Location was good and ability to cook some of our meals were good. Some of the staff at front weren’t very helpful but a couple of them were very good.

Customer service was good as well as the breakfast. Opportunities for improvement would be the water system as the pressure was very low and not hot at all. Even though they over booked and didn't have the room available at check in they did deliver within the timeframe that was provided at check in. Overall, it was an okay stay.
