Great location in the French Quarter. Two blocks from Bourbon Street, so it’s quiet, yet so convenient. Can walk all around the area, so no need for a car. We Ubered from the airport and back. Rooms were nice and clean. We had a windowless room and it was fine. Would definitely stay there again.

We just loved it here. Worried about the room with no window that I chose but it really allowed for a restful night sleep. The hotel itself is just so super cool and convenient to everything French Quarter and FQ adjacent. Staff was really, really nice as well.

We love staying there when we come to the city. Parking is available close by, which is so convenient. We love to park and walk to anything we plan to do, so this is the perfect place. Restaurants are nearby, the area is quiet but not abandoned or scary, so we always feel safe.

Perfect Stay in New Orleans

Hotel was perfectly situated for a French Quarter stay. Far enough to be away from the noise and bustle of Bourbon Street while easy to walk to everything. Staff was absolutely fantastic, had a small issue and they resolved it before we could even ask. Amazing stay, thank you so much!
