Staff were all very friendly. Kevin very nicely arranged all of our transport to the airport (for less than Uber) including loading the luggage and coming next door to PJ's Coffee to tell us that our car had arrived early. Rooms were nice & clean with a wonderful comfy king size bed. Love the location - convenient for everything in the Quarter.

Great location for our first time girls weekend visit The staff was so nice; rooms were beautiful and everything was neat and clean. The Hop-on/Hop-off bus stop is a block or so down at Jackson Square; Bourbon Street, Canal Street, Frenchman St, etc. all walking distance away. Between the Hop-on bus and the $3/day street car you can get just about anywhere! Highly recommend this hotel.
