"Location was nice, staff was all friendly, and good proximity to Bourbon St. and St. Louis Cemetery #1; however, a few maintenance items in our room (224) that needed attention, some of which were easy fixes (light bulbs out, kitchen sink faucet was very loose, we had to take the back lid off toilet to flush every time, the hand held shower holster was broken) and then we couldn't raise the blinds to view the city. We let the front desk know about these issues and hopefully all were fixed for future guests. The room itself was larger and on the corner so we appreciated the extra space with our family. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would probably return."

"The rooms could have been cleaner there was some interesting stains on the walls and the shower drain was a bit crusty, toilet seat was falling off. overall though for the price we had a good stay and all the staff was very nice. we also had an issue because we were not informed the parking lot had limited space, we ended up having to walk 3 blocks with all our luggage and they didnt have luggage carriers that went out to the street at all for us to unload our car quickly. that was the biggest issue we had. Although they informed us that the next day when people checked out we would be able to park our car in their lot, which helped greatly when leaving."
