Wonderful gem! Location is great. Not far from Bourbon, but even better, close to Jackson Square. We stayed in one of the windowless king rooms. It was amazing for sleeping!

Enjoyed our stay

We were a little concerned being off a main road, but it was pretty quiet. We liked the location and courtyard on the property. Staff was excellent! Very happy our room was available early. Bed could have been better with another blanket or comforter. Room was a pretty good size for New Orleans.

Charming hotel, comfortable beds, great location. Daily cleaning service was good but could be better. We found food crumbs and a piece of cracker stuck on the back of one of the chairs. We put that chair next to the window so the staff could clean it, but it wasn't cleaned. Our room was next to the elevator, and it was very loud at night. We used earplugs so we could sleep. Next time, we'd ask for a room far from the elevator. That said, we would book again when we come back to New Orleans.

Courtyard is a good escape from the hustle/bustle outside. It is an enjoyable characteristic of New Orleans.
