The Hotel is just two or three blocks from the Third Ward and the Public Market. The staff is super. Everyone greets you with a smile. Thr hotel was clean, the breakfast was great and the location is close to everything. A special shout out to Rebecca who provided us with a wealth of information and made recommendations around the hotel, including shopping, restaurants and historial sites. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is fairly new so the rooms are clean and fresh- looking. Service at the front desk was super friendly. The full breakfast bar was nice to have (although the quality is just average). Overall a nice stay.
