Mixed Experience - Some positives but disappointing surprises. While the staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and the parking was convenient — which I appreciated — there were several issues that took away from the overall experience. The bar and restaurant were closed, and there was no mention of this on any booking site. That lack of transparency was disappointing, especially since I specifically booked there for on-site pool amenities. Additionally, I had to move rooms because the air conditioning in my original room was not working. Although the staff did attempt to address the issue, the move happened after three attempts to rectify the issue, and only after I requested it — no accommodations were offered proactively. Although the hotel itself was quiet and tidy, the street noise was a constant issue — loud even in the middle of the night and early morning, which made it hard to get restful sleep. Another downside was the cost. For what I paid, the room is overpriced compared to other nearby hotel options. While I understand New Orleans can be pricey during certain weekends, the value just was not there in this case. The pictures do not match reality: This is a 3-star hotel at best and my total costs were more than 4-star hotels in the area. Overall, while there are some positives, I would not stay here again unless some of these issues are addressed.

I stayed with my family (2 adults and 2 teens). We had a great time and enjoyed the hotel very much! Love the history. Great price too. Very convenient location! The pool area was really nice and the staff was very kind and helpful. Rooms were renovated and clean. We loved the 2 bedroom suite. Plenty of room and great closet space. Our only complaint would be the lack of mirrors. Maybe add a full length mirror in the closet. And hopefully the bar will reopen soon? We will definitely be back.

I loved the hotel, history of it and the location. Unfortunately it was supposed to have a bar which was closed and staff did not know when it would reopen. Marisol was lovely and even let us borrow her person charger when we had an issue with ours. Great location for Fest and Frenchmen St.

The Locations was great, Everything was far away enough to be quiet at the hotel, but close enough to walk to everything. Bourbon St., Museums, great restaurants, Armstrong park. The only issue is that the hotel was not very Updated and Modern. I could not control the temp in my room, the elevators were a little scary and the bar has not been open since COVID. The Staff was amazing!
