Great location for our first time girls weekend visit The staff was so nice; rooms were beautiful and everything was neat and clean. The Hop-on/Hop-off bus stop is a block or so down at Jackson Square; Bourbon Street, Canal Street, Frenchman St, etc. all walking distance away. Between the Hop-on bus and the $3/day street car you can get just about anywhere! Highly recommend this hotel.

This was such a wonderful stay! The building itself is very rustic and charming. It's one of the most unique places I've ever stayed! It's close enough to walk to everything but still located off the main area so it's nice and quiet. I was traveling as a solo female and I always felt safe in this area. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Even as an older building, I never noticed any issues with temperature control (it was very cold when I visited New Orleans). Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to stay in the French Quarter.
