If you are looking to stay somewhere just for location of being on Bourbon St this is good. If you are looking for a clean room and a room that represents the price you pay then don’t pick this place. Rooms smell like mold and mildew along with the smell of #2 but that could just be coming from the drains, several of the towels in our room had stains all over them, the pillows on the bed smelled like someone had slept on them with BO and dirty smelly hair. The furniture is old and most of the drawers will not even open and close properly. And the mattress is old and really uncomfortable

Motel was very nice. Room was nothing fancy but clean and had a small balcony. I really enjoyed my stay there as it was within walking distance to most everything i wanted to experience. With the balcony if i choose to not participate in the craziness of Bourbon st i could sit up there and watch.

Wonderfully kind staff and very clean room. Bourbon Street was absolutely insane on the weekend we stayed there, but you could barely tell from the quiet of the room.
