Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Check in was good because the front desk person told us that the room that Travelocity offered for an upgrade (with an extra charge) would not accommodate the three of us.. she gave us another room but when we got to the room, none of our keys worked. The clerk then told us after she tried the keys and they did not work for her.. to take the room next door. I was very surprised and disappointed that a hotel that has a sign advertising that it’s a historical hotel had tattered and ripped carpeting.. not very appealing. The next day one of the keys stopped working for the room. The lady at check out seemed a bit confused with the process and I was a little discouraged by her comments as she was trying to re-explain the upgrade. I especially did not like her incorrect comment that I paid for only two people in the room and there were three of us. Incorrect and an embarrassing moment in front of my adult grandchildren as I paid for the trip. This was not true either. The location was good, but I believe there are better choices in the area. I would not stay there again.

We got there early and receptionist said they would call us when the room is ready. Never got a call. When we went back to check in, got a room key went in and there was other people in the room already!! Elevator was malfunctioning and had to press the button to go up even if you want to go down. No AC in the elevator it was a super hot box. Location was good far enough off Bourbon Street, but still close to everything.

Very Nice and Quaint

Service was pristine from the valet to the check-in. I did not realize that I arrived a couple minutes early, and the check-in lady was trying to kindly remind me that check-in was at 4PM. It was my fault, but there was a noce restaurant across the street i wanted to visit. They held my bags and called me when my room was ready. I did not particularly like the shared outdoor space upstairs. It was nice but had no view. I will try the King room with balcony next time.

Close to everything but just far enough away to be quiet. Elegant rooms but some light fixtures are too big and hung too low. Rooms were very clean as well as the reast of the hotel. We were accidentally sent to the wrong room but that was corrected. Could maybe use more staff during peak check-in Check-out time. But it was a very nice stay.

Our room a/c broke we were told they could move us to another hotel or give us a box fan. We had another group with us and they wouldn't move us both. They didn't even off a reimbursement. It took them over a hour and us calling them to finally move us to another room.
