Typical budget hotel

The hotel is nothing special. It is located two blocks from Canal St and about six blocks from Bourbon St (a little far after walking all day and after having a few drinks). We would have much rather stayed at a hotel closer to entertainment. This is our second night and we have yet to experience any exceptionally nice treatment from any of the staff - quite average in our opinion. The lobby is small and unwelcoming, the elevator is dirty and the hallways need vacuuming. The rooms are a good size but the bathroom is tiny. The sink area is in the the bathroom with the shower - very impractical!!! The beds are hard and the bedding is average at best. Even though the TV is only a 19" we still enjoy the cable and HBO when we are in the room. The free internet is a nice anemity too. My husband had the breakfast this morning and said it was "ok" overall but the grits were "good." I'm very disappointed I chose this hotel and I will not recommend it to my friends. The entire trip I have been looking at other hotels wishing we were staying there. I booked the Quality Inn and Suites based on reviews I read here and on travel wesbite - wish I would have gone with my instincts instead... We haven't spent that much time in our hotel, but we're still the type of people that enjoy nice hotels with soft beds and lush bedding. If you're looking for a no-frills budget hotel - this hotel fits the bill but if you're looking for a romantic getaway steer clear of the Quality Inn and Suites.
Friendliest staff in the city

The staff at this hotel made our stay wonderful! They not only found us a room four hours before the official check-in time so we could head out to Jazz fest, but they upgraded us in the process. Every time we entered or left the building, the desk staff gave us a friendly greeting and checked whether we needed anything.
Beyond that:
The pillows were the nicest I've ever had in any hotel--and they gave you four on a Queen bed.
The lobby is attached to a Subway, which means the smell of fresh-baked bread fills the lobby. Yum.
Speaking of yum, the breakfast was much nicer than I'd have anticipated--waffles, fresh grits, fresh fruits etc.
I like staying in the action of the French Quarter, usually, and this hotel is 2 blocks from Canal and about 2 more over to Bourbon. In nice weather, it's fine. We had two days of drenching downpours. Oh well.
Overall, this hotel was an excellent value for the money, and I will stay there again.

Stay here for last Saints preseason game & Labor Day weekend. Close to the superdome and real close to Bourbon St. People were friendly & continental breakfast was tasty, better than we expected. Cost of room was a good deal. Thanks! Great stay...

Great value and location. We travel a lot and the entire staff at this hotel was among the most friendly and helpful we have encountered. Our room was a little small, but quiet and very well furnished with a desk, frig. and micorwave. It was also very clean. Larger rooms were available, but we don't spend much time in the room. The continental breakfast was above average with hot and cold items. If you don't mind walking a little, this hotel is only four blocks from the French Quarter, and an easy half-mile walk to the Superdome.
