While the staff was exceptionally welcoming, the room provided for early check-in fell short of expectations, particularly in cleanliness and lack of complimentary water bottles, despite the additional resort fee charges. The $75 fee for early check-in set a high expectation for room standards that were not met. Additionally, the room's phone was inoperative, making it challenging to communicate with the lobby or service desk. Although the balcony room was booked, the view was significantly hindered by construction equipment, which, while beyond the hotel's control, detracted from the overall experience. The interactions with the staff remained positive throughout; however, the experience was overshadowed by being double charged and not receiving a receipt upon checkout. The entire process, from check-in to departure, felt hurried, leaving room for improvement in the guest experience.

Everyone was friendly and helpful during our stay. The hot water didn’t work very well, but it’s probably just because the building is a little older. Loved the swimming pool, and a beautiful property, close to everything.

The hotel itself was ok. But it is located not just in French Quarter but right on Bourbon street. It was our first time in New Orleans, so booking this hotel without researching the address was probably our mistake. If you like stinky and extremely noisy street with multiple cheap dirty bars, homeless people right by the entrance of the hotel (and everywhere else), drugs being openly sold on every corner, smell of weed mixed with smell of pee and spilled booze - then it is a great place to stay. If you are a family looking for a relaxing weekend and learning about the history of New Orleans - this hotel is a no-no. The hotel has a nice piano bar with live jazz which we wanted to go to. But it did not allow guests under 21 - even though it was probably the most appropriate and innocent place for kids in the whole street! On the first night we did not sleep at all because there was a loud party in the room next door. The walls are paper thin and we could hear everything - including drunk woman laughing like a hyena, then, when she left, drunk guys fighting and arguing about who should pay her, then yelling and bumping into furniture… That kind of place! I tried to call front desk multiple time to ask for security to come upstairs. No one ever picked up. In the morning we had to move to another room because those guests were staying for more nights. Keep in mind reception never picked up the phone and for anything you need you have to go downstairs and ask in person.

Our shower didn’t have soap or shampoo in the dispensers. When asked for them to fill them, they brought us up 3 round bars of soap. Our shower curtain had a blood stain on it. Our bed had a few “hairs” in it. I would have thought for a higher end hotel, it would have been ALOT neater and cleaner. The stairway had a homeless person sleeping in it that scared the crap out of me. I like taking the stairs, NOT in New Orleans. Restaurants weee excellent. Coffee shop only had reg or decaf coffee. Overall it was a good place to stay.
