The hotel offers spacious, attractively furnished, and clean rooms with an old-world charming feel. The service was accommodating and friendly. The location is ideal for sightseeing and dining but may not be the safest. The dining experience could use significant improvement, while the facilities are generally good.

The hotel is located in a convenient spot, close to the French Quarter but away from the noise. The rooms are comfy in an historic building, albeit with a slight smell issue initially. The service showed a mix of responses, from a sympathetic approach to unavailability. The location offers easy access to various attractions and free street parking. Dining options are simple, and the facilities provide a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were laid out like two separate bedrooms, needing some small remodeling for a better experience, but they were just okay – not the cleanest and not fully supplied as advertised. On the bright side, the service was excellent, with the staff even confirming my reservation and offering parking options ahead of time. The location was fantastic, close to everything I wanted to see and do, with a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation. However, the dining experience, while offering healthy options alongside croissants and cheese, could use some improvement in variety. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for enhancement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were really comfortable and nice and cold, which is perfect for a great night's sleep. They had extra amenities and were clean, fresh, exactly what we wanted - a comfy spot in a historic building close to the Quarter. The service was very nice, and the staff seemed sympathetic, friendly, and more than willing to help with any requests; I would definitely stay there again. The location was perfect, close to everything with plenty of free street parking around, so no need to pay for their parking. The dining experience was excellent, and the facilities were top-notch.
