Excellent location for "first timers". This is nice if you plan to head to the Garden District, Casino, Moon Walk, Warehouse District or Canal St. Streetcar. Way too close to Canal if you plan on spending most of your time in the Quarter or the Marigny. Staff was always very friendly and helpful. Rooms were good, but nothing special. Fine for most folks visiting NOLA, as little time is spent in your room. Elevators could be a bit slow. Limited lobby seating. Hotel's lobby restroom was through the restaraunt next door (connected by a door).

Not much in the lobby, elevators are small but the room was comfortable, clean and a nice space.

Hotel overall was a good value for the money especially with the free parking. Great location. Good pool area. Restaurant was good. Family enjoyed the pool table. Front desk extremely friendly. Car stayed parked. Didn't need it to get around. Conceirge got us a great deal on a city tour package. Housekeeping could use some extra lessons on cleaning. Items were left out in the room from the previous guests. They didn't replace the empty kleenex box. Some one took candy from our room. I would suggest locking your belongings. Overall good stay.

This hotel is within walking distance of the French quarter and only one block from Bourbon street. The concierge at the hotel was excellent and overall the staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting resturants and activities to do. The block that the hotel entrance is located on is somewhat sketchy but the rest of the surrounding area is very safe and we felt secure in walking everywhere we went. In some of the other reviews people had commented on how much it cost to park but when we arrived they gave us a parking voucher and told us that everyone who books through the travel website gets free parking. We got to the hotel several hours before check-in and they allowed us to go ahead and check-in early. The downside of this hotel is that it is currently undergoing a serious remodel. Several of the floors are completely closed and there is a constant flow of constuction workers coming in and out. Also in our bathroom we had an issue with our toilet. It would not stop running. They sent someone up to look at it, but he said it was an issue with the plumbing and there was nothing they could do to it. Unfortunately we were not offered another room. It was very annoying and made it difficult to sleep at night. Overall though the hotel is a good value and the location is fine. I would recommend it and we would stay there again (hopefully we wouldn't get a room with a running toilet.)

My first trip to the city, I only required the hotel have a nice bathroom and shower (I heard it really got hot down there, and the rumors were true). Our room was huge and had a pretty clean bathroom, so we were pretty happy. The carpet in the hotel and room were smelly and our feet kind of stuck to them as we walked around probably due to mold, so we wore flip flops. The elevators were slow, operated only by key card and smelled like must and mold, but overall, the hotel was amazing. It was literally one block from Bourbon street and one block from Canal. Whenever we asked the staff for anything (we needed a fridge for all of the leftovers we accumulated from eating out and a toothbrush and toothpaste), they gave it to us free. When we wanted to sleep in on our last day, they let us stay past the ckeckout time free of charge. Lots of cable and movie channels were offered free and the concierge kindly kept our bags for us until our cab arrived long after our check out. I would have to say that for the price, location, and friendly staff, this hotel is awesome.
