My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location was great, just one block from the heart of the French Quarter, but far enough off the street to enjoy quiet nights. The rooms, though not the cleanest and a bit tight, provided a comfortable stay, unlike nearby older hotels with noise issues. The service was friendly and accommodating, but lacked some knowledge about the hotel offerings.

The hotel room was kind of small, but had a nice decor and was more than big enough for the two of us. The service was so friendly and needs more authority to fix issues. The location was fantastic, walking distance to everything and quiet. The dining experience had places to get an inexpensive breakfast and should have proposed in a cute garden. Overall, a quaint hotel close to everything in the French Quarter.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms, although a bit small, were cozy with exposed brick walls, but they were too warm for a June in Louisiana. The darkness in the room was a downside, with the only light coming from the courtyard view.

The rooms are comfortable and spacious, but some noise from daily cleaning can be a minor issue. The service is top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff.
