    Pool was great, All the staff we encountered were a delight to deal with and helpful beyond our expectations. Will return again to this great establishment.

    Great stay!!!

    The hotel itself was ok. The gym was very nice, rooms were small. Just a bed and enough room to walk. You cannot place a suitcase on the floor and not trip over it. Bathroom is tiny, shower head is not suitable for an adult and the tub is small. Cleanliness, at most 8/10… found a pair of socks and chapstick from previous stay. Bathrooms in common areas were not well maintained; elevator floors were dirty. Booking through Expedia, you get a 130 tour credit, which is a total scam because it is divided towards several tours so you only get $25 per tour. Hotel gives you $15 a day to use; they didn’t keep good track of the expense and I ended up paying more out of pocket. I will not be staying here next time we visit New Orleans.

    The hotel was in the best location. It was right on bourbon st. It was very close to some nice restaurants. Parked and didn't get vehicle till the day I left. Only had 1 issue. Other than that it was great.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I guess it's all about hip-hop nowadays and unless you go for it there is no point in staying there

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Lovely hotel with a great swimming pool.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    My absolute favorite place to stay outside of Vegas. Well, including Vegas, at this point. The service… The $15/Day Credit, The breakfast, pool and courtyard….and THE BALCONIES OVER BOURBON STREET…. The Best All Around! KoachFromOhioFavorite

    Beautiful hotel and great location ! Rooms could use a bit of a refresh

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It’s always a wonderful and beautiful stay staying down there. It’s close to everything. Easy to get to and fro all the sites.

    I have stayed at this hotel 4 times or more and unfortunately this will be my last time. We found what appeared to be a bedbug on the bed took a picture killed it and alerted front desk staff and security. I am allergic to bites so my anxiety was through the roof! The manager wasn't very sympathetic or apologetic. He offered no compensation just moved our room. I couldn't enjoy my stay in fear of being bitten. Tried to cancel my reservation to move to a different hotel but was denied. I will never stay here again.
