The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the building features beautiful historic architecture. The staff were friendly and helpful. Its location in the French Quarter, close enough to explore, yet far enough from the lively nightlife, made it the perfect place to rest and recharge for the next day. I attended a meeting in December, and the hotel was a 15–20 minute walk from the conference center, situated in a much more interesting area than the hotels immediately surrounding it. I would definitely recommend it.

I had a wonderful stay here. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the room was clean, comfortable, and spacious for a solo traveler. I stayed in a queen-size room and found it to be just right. The location is excellent—especially for New Year’s Eve. The hotel is very close to the waterfront, and it only took about five minutes to walk back after the fireworks, which was a huge plus. I also went for runs around the French Quarter and along the water, and it was the perfect location to return, freshen up, and head back out. Food options were everywhere, making it incredibly convenient to grab a meal or coffee at any time. The doorman was especially helpful and kindly called a cab for me when Uber prices were surging. The bathroom was spotless, with great water pressure and wonderfully hot water, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be back.

everything perfect except finding the room was too hard. There were no signs pointing to where the rooms are. And when leaving, no signs pointing to the lobby. Pain in the ass wandering around.
