Great location in the French Quarter. Beautiful accommodations. Bit noisy just outside the hotel, but it’s to be expected on Bourbon Street.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at your hotel. It was surprisingly quiet despite being in the center of Bourbon St during the holidays. My only comment for improvement is for the cleaning staff to be quieter in the hallways in the morning. Several days I was awoken by 7:30-8:30 am by their loud chatter. I was not the only guest to open my door and ask them to quiet down, respectfully. I understand the job needs to be done, but it should get done without drawing attention, in my opinion. I still look forward to staying here again in the future. Thank you!

The hotel is located on Bourdon Street and is quiet considering that. We arrived at 10:30 am and wanted to check our luggage and for $75 we could check in early which was great. The Concierge pushed for the hotel’s restaurant and did really help with other restaurants. The Coffee at PJ’s in the Hotel wasn’t hot in the morning and when I mentioned to the Barista, she acted like she didn’t care. When leaving the Bellman pushed the taxi option versus the Uber or Lift option.

Absolutely loved this hotel, fabulous location on bourbon as we booked last minute we were unable to get a room with a balcony facing bourbon st but our room that faced the pool was great. Such a lively, fun, crazy area. More fun than Vegas. Valet parking was super easy with friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Chantelle was excellent! She was significantly more knowledgeable and customer service oriented than the other front desk staff. She quickly solved a problem with my reservation that was created by another staff member and followed through to the end of our stay. The doormen were also very nice and helpful. Overall, the hotel was pretty nice. I especially liked the dining options connected to the hotel. Thanks again, Chantelle!!
