The staff was amazing. The only problem was there was no elevator to go up to the fourth floor or any other floors so make sure you get the bottom floor if you’re not able to walk up the steps, but other than that, it was a great stay.

Convenient stay in old style building with courtyard and balcony in quiet, safe area near to Jackson Square and the centre of New Orleans. Perfect unless you don't like stairs but very welcoming staff will carry your bags up to your room.

This location was 5-10mins from everything we wanted to see and do (5*). At the time of booking I was unwavering of the "The Originals-TV series" was filmed at the location. We chose this hotel because of the jacuzzi tub. The price was fair but wanted a more of a relaxing soak after our cruise. The bathroom was not cleaned! We advised front desk staff (3*)who tried to help as much as possible (seeing that the cleaning staff had left for the day). The bathroom had hair everywhere. The tub was DIRTY! The front desk staff attempted to clean the bathroom on 2 separate occasions that evening without using a drop of water as well as leaving hair still visible in the shower and on the floors (see attached pictures). The walls are so thin we could hear everything going on outside and inside the hotel. The windows were boarded shut and locked (1*) We have tried to reach management during and after our stay. 5times with no call back/ return email.

It’s a quaint hotel right in the heart of the French Quarter. Be aware the building is 300 years old so no elevators. Be prepared to haul your luggage up several flights of stairs. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable.

We left a day early. The room smelled like sewage, the shower was dirty and not like advertised, and there was a live roach in the bathroom. The toilet was loose and rocked. Every time the air turned on, it pushed a horrible smell into the room. The “balcony” was accessed by a large raise up window instead of doors and you could hear the noisy neighbors outside until 3 AM as if they were in the room.

Lovely old building in the heart of the French Quarter, very close to shops and restaurants. The balcony overlooking a quiet side street was a real plus. Clean, comfortable room and helpful staff. There's no lift, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have trouble walking or you have a lot of luggage.
