Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers nice and comfy rooms, great service, and a perfect location near the French Quarter. However, ventilation in rooms can be a bit challenging, and the dining experience could use some improvement with more coffee options.
I found the hotel to be ideally located, just a short walk from the French Quarter, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Although the rooms lacked natural light, the service went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.
The hotel had a cool location close to various attractions, but the rooms felt dark and damp at times. The service was hit or miss, and the dining experience was a mixed bag. However, the facilities offered some positive aspects.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was nice and clean with a comfy bed, but the noise from the street and nearby nightclubs was quite disruptive. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure everything was perfect. The location was convenient for exploring the city, but the noise from local construction was a drawback. The dining options were limited, and the breakfast was only satisfactory. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit disappointing, dark, and smelly, feeling more like a basement with noise seeping in from the neighboring room and a window that opened to a brick wall. On the bright side, the service was friendly and accommodating, especially from Latasha, Alan, and Justin at the front desk. The location was good, although not exceptional, with easy access to some New Orleans attractions. The dining experience was quite satisfactory, with a delightful brunch at mothers in Commerce Restaurant. Overall, it was a mix of positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, but had some flaws in the bathroom that needed addressing. The view from my room on the first floor was not ideal, overlooking a utility 'alley' that was not well-maintained. The rooms were quite basic with standard amenities like a safe, fridge, and a bar with enjoyment packs. However, the proximity to the elevator and ice maker was a bit noisy, especially early in the morning when someone was filling an ice chest.
