I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was rather tiny, with the bed taking up nearly the entire space, lack of storage, and not being cleaned even after requesting it at the front desk. On the bright side, the location around the French Quarter was convenient for exploring.

Rooms

The room was small with limited storage space and cleanliness was an issue despite the front desk request. The bed dominated the room, making it feel cramped.

The service at this hotel was a mixed bag. While I found Alexis to be very pleasant and helpful, some of the staff were disrespectful and arrogant, especially in interactions at certain grocery stores.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though a bit small, were comfortable for two people during our 5-night stay. They were nicely prepared and adequate in size, making it one of the coziest hotels we've ever stayed in. The service, despite a rough start, turned out to be incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, especially thanks to the knowledgeable staff. The location was amazing, being about one block from Bourbon Street and Canal Street, offering easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, the hotel provided good value for money.

The hotel's location was fantastic, close to the French Quarter and easy to reach various places with friendly staff. Despite the noise from neighbors due to lack of soundproofing, the efficient rooms made up for it. The dining options were great in nearby fast food eateries, but the online specifications were not clear about in-room dining availability.
