The hotel seemed a little “rundown” but it was secure, mostly clean, had a pool, and a great price! There was a huge gap the whole way around the door and no black out curtains so it didn’t get very dark in the room at night. We were in room one and could hear a lot of road noise but that isn’t the fault of the hotel, just an FYI. I received the gate and room codes via email and had zero issues. When booking your room, make sure you choose to have parking included. I would stay here if I were in New Orleans again!

This is a fairly new hotel in terms of management, but an older hotel and in a weird location, which is why it’s cheap. My bed was so sunken in the middle I could barely sleep in it. The staff is not around — it’s more like an Airbnb where you just log in with a code and go about your business, including taking your sheets to the laundry. Again, it’s cheap for the area, but you get what you pay for. I will not stay there again.
