Solid choice for new visitors
Nice building and great renovation. Good location if it's your first time, given the visitor center and tour bus on site. This was our 5th visit to area, and we found most places we went to be walkable from hotel. Felt safe with onsite measures to secure building, and staff was helpful. Beds were comfortable, and in room amenities were equivalant to a standard hotel. However, there are no full curtains in the room, only shutters & decorative drapes. So I highly suggest to bring a sleep mask if you are sensitive to light. We had to hair clip our decorative ones to sleep.

Lost power for over 5 hours. Showered by my cell phone flashlight. No compensation or bonus (no free breakfast or anything else offered for inconvenience). Other than that perfect stay.

We loved this little 18-room hotel, with a coffee shop and mini museum on the main floor. To get to the French Qrtr, just go across Basin St. and you're there. Highly recommend this gem!
