Dumpy Motel
This motel is in a seedy area and the room we booked was quite dirty. We has to fill the wash basin with soapy water in order to wipe down all the grimy surface areas we would come into contact with. The bed pillows were worn and dirty-looking so we placed the pillows into two separate plastic trash bags BEFORE we even dared to place our heads on them. The single blanket on the bed was in need of a good wash; I went to the front desk and insisted upon a cleaner one directly from the housekeeping laundry room. The person at the front desk tried to charge us extra for the room despite having the confirmation which showed the actual price we were supposed to pay. However, a quick call to Expedia managed to set the matter straight. Stay somewhere else if you value cleanliness and safety.

Manager Does Not Respond to Problems
The maid service accidentally threw out my dental night guard (approx $300). The manager, Mr. Patel, was not on property and has since not responded to numerous email and telephone requests to discuss the matter. It's one thing to be refused, another to be ignored--utterly despicable. Expedia has called on my behalf--still no response. Expedia has not followed up on my request to contact the owners on my behalf.

You get what you pay for....
The hotel was "ok" for the price paid. It was in a decent area of town, close to freeway and any locations you needed to get to. Rooms can do with a little more detail to cleaning. If you are there more than one night, be sure to bring your own towels, they do not replace the ones you use.

Basic Adequate
The facility was neat and appeared to be maintained, the room was smelly. No face towels on the first night, attributed to the fact of an early check in. The staff did accommodate that. No frills but adequate.

Decent budget hotel with good connectivity
Its an Econolodge and that is what you will get. Economy Lodging. Very basic clean sheets. Towels had lipstick stains but got new towels the next day and extra towels when I was asked for some. Guy at the reception was very nice and courteous. It is a 20 min bus ride to Bourbon street and $15 ride by taxi so nearby. You have mcdonalds and taco bell nearby.

Pretty Decent
Not bad. Clean linens, floors and bathroom. A few stains on walls but no biggie. Very spacious rooms. Fairly friendly staff. Neighborhood not great but not too horrible either. A cab ride to the French Quarters will runs about $15 - $18 plus tip and takes around 10 minutes without traffic. Would probably stay a little closer to town next time just due to the expense of cab fare.

Clean Hotel
I was surprised to find that this hotel was very clean. You cant judge a book by its cover as they say. The hotel is located in a sketchy looking area. There's a chain of stores with security bars in the windows (you usually see this in sketchy areas where break ins are common). There is also a sketchy looking apartment right next to the parking lot.... When we arrived guests ( or maybe permanent residents of the hotel???) were hanging out on the stairs smoking. They didn't stay their long, just a quick smoke break I guess...My family and I stayed there for one night, we left before breakfast was available. Overall, clean hotel room. Only complaint is that we booked a nonsmoking room however, our room smelled of smoke...slightly, nothing I couldn't deal with. I was able to sleep throughout the night...no loud noise, car wasn't broken into or anything.... Its definitely overpriced though...but we stayed during July 4th weekend and everything is pretty much overpriced. A pool would have been nice.

Very good value for being reasonably close to French Quarter. Neighborhood better than expected. First non-smoking room I inspected wasn't. Second room (201) was much better and made for a nice stay. Gentleman at front desk very helpful. When travelling for business will likely stay here again.

No love made in this room
The 1st room we were offered had a terrible moth ball smell.there wasn't a shower curtain and there was blood on the bathroom wall. May I add we used this hotel for our 5th anniversary trip. We were given a 2nd room and it smelled better but the sheets were nasty and the bathroom was dirty. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a dog.

NASTY HOTEL
Room was dirty when we arrived, both beds had black curly hair on the sheets. the phone didn't work due to bare wires showing. Went to ask the desk to remake the beds they handed us a stack of sheets to remake our own. The second day got back to the room after a 14 hour work day. The did not even make up the room. So no towels, no coffee, beds unmade. NASTY...NASTY hotel...

Inexpensive hotel close to French Quarter
This is an older hotel and the rooms could use some updating. They were for the most part clean but due to stained grout in the bathroom it seemed a little dirty. Breakfast was the usual cereal, toast, muffins, grits, oatmeal, fruit and beverages. The best part of this hotel is the staff at the front desk. They were very pleasant and tried to help whenever they could. We arrived before check in time and we were able to wait in the lobby until our room was ready which was great because we decided to use the buses for the few days we were there and didn't want to carry our luggage with us all day. I asked if they had any boxes that I could use to mail some things home that wouldn't fit in a carry-on and the woman cheerfully found one for me. If you are looking for a place to stay without paying a lot of money this is a good place to stay. Use common sense after dark and stay in groups when outside.

Bad hotel
I had an issue with the night staff at this hotel. The day staff was friendly but the night staff was extremely rude. I will leave it at that. The neighborhood is in a bad part outside of New Orleans. The clientele like to smoke illegal substances. I do not recommend this hotel.

New Orleans revisited
I used the hotel just to sleep in for 3 nights. I went downtown and the French Quarters most of the day. It was an easy 10 minute drive. The p.m. clerk told me good directions to downtown. GPS helps. Hotel: bed cover had cigarette burn holes. Bed blanket had cigarette burn holes. However, they were clean. Non-smoking room. Quiet. I did not hear anything from the next room. Breakfast: some fresh fruits, juice, cereals, milk, muffins... very basic. TV remote did not work, no batteries... desk clerk replaced the remote. Reasonable, for the price paid.
