Guest Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's situated in a prime location, close to the French Quarter and everything I wanted to see, like the WWII Museum. The rooms had that New Orleans feel, and having a balcony was a lovely touch. The service was top-notch, with housekeeping keeping everything spotless. The only downside was the dining options, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in New Orleans! The queen size bed was so comfortable, and the balcony overlooking the street added a great touch to the room. The staff was friendly and made me feel like I was truly experiencing the charm of New Orleans.
This hotel was a fantastic choice for my stay. The rooms were clean, comfy, and had a lovely balcony to enjoy. The service was impeccable, especially with the housekeeping. The location was perfect, close to everything in the French Quarter, including Louis Armstrong park. Dining options were delicious, especially the Pork Belly dish. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
