Wonderful Service

This is a beautiful hotel, inside and out. The employees were some of the kindest, nicest, most hopeful people I've ever met (this includes the parking lot person, bell boy, desk clerk, operator, EVERY BODY).
The only down side is that the rooms are very very small. I had a queen size room and after the bed is in, youreally only have about a foot or two around the room to walk, but it's New Orleans, who spends a lot of time in their room.
Horrible Experience

First, I never write reviews about hotels, as I just do not have time.
I will make this short and to the point.
The bed was as HARD AS A ROCK
The sheets are thin and scratchy and I've had better in $39 hotels. Only 3 usable pillows for a king bed!
The door in the shower only covers one half of the opening, very Euro, very chic, but not practical. Water gets EVERYWHERE, no way to avoid it.
Vents were covered in dust!
DRIED Waffles under table!!!
Hotel tried to charge me again for a room I had prepaid for, manager was HORRIBLE!
SO far from the French Quarter, and nothing is open late around the hotel, so get ready to cab it, pay a fortune for a cab, IF you can find it!
Don't stay here! Plenty of nicer better values in the city.
Excellent Hotel! Would Definitely Stay There Again!

The hotel was beautiful! The room was large and had a large walk-in closet that included 2 robes, 2 umbrellas, an iron, and an ironing board. There was also a full length mirror on the door. The room had a desk and there was free internet accesss (including wi-fi). Everything in the room was beautiful! (including the ceiling where there were roses painted on!) The only thing that wasn't so great was that the toilet didn't flush all that well.
The staff was very helpful and friendly! The bellhop and I had a great converstaion while I was making my pb&j sandwiches (a great nightly tradition with milk!)
The hotel was in a nice location, not too far from Bourbon street (you can walk there). There was also a streetcar stop near by that makes access to site easy.
I would definitely stay there again!

The pictures of the hotel look elegant and beautiful. The lobby is welcoming like a over decorated rich aunt's house in France. I travel weekly and when I saw that this hotel had received 4 stars I thought people knew how to rate hotels. Once we arrived and got to our room I was extremely disappointed; the 18th century decor had not been updated in about 100 years, and if you are looking to go back in time to a victorian style bed with 800 throw pillows and no real pillows and paper hard sheets then you have arrived at the right hotel. The staff was extremely nice but the room was not clean and a musty smell permeated through out the room. The pictures on the walls were spooky and the one night stay in a 100 year old bed with brick like pillows and 30 thread count sheets was enough to make us leave and check into another hotel.
Perfect Hotel, Couldn't ask for anything more

It was my first trip with my girlfriend and we both agree that this hotel set the standards high for future trips. It was perfect. We were treated especially well and by the time we left after our 6 nights there it felt like home. Going into it we were worried that the rooms might be small but arriving we were pleasantly surprised. The room was nicely sized and furnished with a big comfy bed and a very nice tv. The rooms come with umbrellas you can use for free in case it rains, a really nice touch for tourists i think. They also have a great concierge service which is super friendly and helpful. Suggestions always met our expectations and they always had great insight into restaurants, parades or sights. Honestly this is one off the best hotels I've ever stayed in. It was comfy, had everything we could ask for and wasn't particularly expensive for all that we got. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel to any and everyone.
