Enjoyable stay

We took this trip as a family. This motel was affordable for us. Its ran by American people. Its clean and for the most part pretty quiet. I felt safe here. The pool and hot tub were nice. If we needed anything the front desk was on it and got it to us in a timely manner. This is an old hoise built in the 1850's. Don't expect like a Holiday Inn. I really got the Lousiana feel staying here. Our room had a pull out couch, 2 beds, table, fridge, plates, bowls, silverware, microwave. Food gets pricey in New Orleans. So having that space came in handy.

We had a suite and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed the sitting area. The pool and hot tub area were very nice. The check in staff was so friendly. We loved it was historical. Be aware it is historical and although there have been upgrades, it is an older home. Overall it was great and we would return.
