This is our go-to hotel in the French quarter. The rooms are always clean and the bed comfortable. This time our higher priced balcony suite was disappointing. The air conditioning blew so cold it was uncomfortable and the room felt much colder than where the thermostat was set. Also there was an outlet on only one side of the bed, which is very inconvenient for charging phones or being able to plug in two CPAPs. It seems they could easily run a conduit behind the bed and add add another outlet.

Staff was excellent, I got one of the suites with the balcony and the room with spacious and clean. There is no breakfast in the mornings just coffee and it looks like the bar in the hotel is permanently closed. The pool was small, but refreshing, looks like they did not clean the pool area every morning as they were cigarette butts and ashes around, even though smoking was not allowed . They have paid parking directly behind the hotel, but be leery, someone keyed my Jeep while I was there. Overall, I would give the hotel a four out of five stars.

Not worth the price. The walls in the room look like the inside of a jail cell. The thermostat in the room stays at a set temperature that you cannot change. There’s not one vending machine on the property, ice machines only. Only good thing is checkout at noon. I’m guessing since the location is close to everything that is the reason the price is costly. An attraction to tourists I guess.
