We enjoyed our short stay. We got there at 3 pm then got ready for the Andrea Bocelli at smoothie king Center that evening at 8 pm. They charge you $34 for parking at the hotel. You can go in and out as much as you want. We park at parking garage 2 next to Smooth King Center then after concert police women told us go out back way which save us a lot of time getting back to hotel. Thank you New Orleans police department.

Only like a 7 min walk to burbon street 3 to 5 min walk to canal. Very convenient but not around the chaos once your ready for bed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean. Tv didnt work when we got there but someone came right away to fix it. My only suggestion is to maybe keep the breakfast buffet open a little longer cause some ppl sleep in after a night of drinking. Oh also they had complementary cookies at the front desk. Yum 😋

The stay worked great for my trip. Within walking distance of the attractions I was looking to see in New Orleans. The breakfast each morning was amazing! Room was clean. Bed and pillows were better than home. Only issue was the noise the city provides including trash pickup at 4 am. Would definitely stay there again!!!
