Do not stay there at all cost. It's dirty, dusty, not well maintained at all, there's no way to open the windows it feels extremly stuffy - I was so allergic the whole time. The service is close to 0. The Bayou Bar and Jack Rose are great but they feel like a completely separate entity. The rooftop has a beautiful view but also feels entirely separate.
