The floor is on level there was rust all over the bathroom tub and the heat and AC unit went out on the second day. I called the front desk they told me all the rooms were booked and there was no heaters to give out. I was just out of luck

It was okay
The hotel was located in a safe neighborhood with a grocery store a short walking distance away. We were able to park for free on the street since we got there at 3:30pm. We didn’t have to move our car until we left and we were able to walk to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street in about 20 minutes. The hotel has a gate to get to the rooms. The downside was that the hotel is pretty old and worn-down. It smelled really bad in the room and I couldn’t sleep at night because the pillow case and sheets smelled like blood. We didn’t see any blood anywhere thankfully. No bed bugs either. It was just the smell. The bathroom wasn’t that clean either. There were random hairs in the shower and on the towels. The walls are also pretty thin and we could hear everything that was going on outside. Overall it was okay because we were only in there to sleep and shower.

If you like cold, this is the place for you
The room is cold and stayed cold all night. Took me to the FIRST room and No Heat. SECOND Room, TV wouldn't work. THIRD Room, had only a space heater. Was Told they work excellent. NOPE, didn't!! It only works when you stand in front of it and it didn't heat up the room or the bathroom Even when I went in to the bathroom and turn the heater towards it. Oh and the internet wouldn't work...... Stay here when it was Old Town and the rooms were excellent.. looks to me like there needs to be a management change!! Not ever planning on staying here again... Every time I come to New Orleans I always think of this place and remember the great place it used to be! I got with Old Town but, well....

Run down and no hot water
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Interior was pretty rough, plaster missing with exposed brick, shower was tiny with only a few minutes of hot water. Thermostat didn’t work the first night because we didn’t realize you needed to remove it from the wall and hold two inches from the unit to adjust. Pretty quiet neighborhood about a mile from entertainment area of French Quarter.

My stay was great our room was cozy and accommodating plenty of towels and perfect size for a family of 6. Excellent area about 5 minutes from Jackson square staff was nice and friendly. A grocery store conveniently across the street. We had a heater which is great because we visited during December and the ac works amazing! Parking was good it’s off the street. Area was quiet and people were friendly. Very historic love it.

A rat came out of under my bed and the property smelled like pee. There was no staff to see about this issue. It was a really bad experience, the door was easy to open meaning I didnt feel safe leaving my things in the room.
