The staff and the property was pretty clean. I cannot say that I felt unsafe once you walk on the street outside. It’s a totally different world and even then I did not feel unsafe know that if you’re staying here you are in the middle of Bourbon Street overall everything was very nice and clean

The property is very outdated, and the rooms and the hallway smelled like mold and mildew.
