Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Unfortunately, our room was not cleaned properly. It needed to be vacuumed, wiped down, and sanitized. The room was stuffy and smelled damp. The layout of the room was odd and tight. The lighting was also not the best. I specifically asked for a clean room and did not receive one. The manager did not provide good customer service at all. Overall, I was glad to have a place to sleep, but I would not suggest the hotel to anyone.

We enjoyed our short stay. We got there at 3 pm then got ready for the Andrea Bocelli at smoothie king Center that evening at 8 pm. They charge you $34 for parking at the hotel. You can go in and out as much as you want. We park at parking garage 2 next to Smooth King Center then after concert police women told us go out back way which save us a lot of time getting back to hotel. Thank you New Orleans police department.

Only like a 7 min walk to burbon street 3 to 5 min walk to canal. Very convenient but not around the chaos once your ready for bed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean. Tv didnt work when we got there but someone came right away to fix it. My only suggestion is to maybe keep the breakfast buffet open a little longer cause some ppl sleep in after a night of drinking. Oh also they had complementary cookies at the front desk. Yum 😋
