Room was clean and a good place to stay for a week on a budget. The area around the room, not the best. That wasn’t a problem though, bunch of bars within driving distance and Ubers were relatively cheap to go drinking all over town.

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. When we walked in there were friendship bracelets and a welcome card from the staff! Very personable. The room was a little small for the 4 of us, but for the price for the weekend it wasn't too bad.

This was a last minute property due to a cancellation from another property. The room was clean and management was very helpful. My family felt safe there. Since we were in a room next to the street it did get noisy.

Eyes On Iris
I came for the TNF Saints game. I arrived Wednesday & left early Friday morning. The property is small, but gated and well maintained. They provide you with the number codes to the gate and your room a couple days before your stay. Check in is at 4 p.m., but they allowed me to check in 3 hours early. Nice comfy beds, they don't have microwaves, only mini fridges. The Superdome is a 2 mile walk, but it beats paying for parking and caught up in the traffic. I only come to New Orleans for Saints games, so this will be one of my go-tos if I wanna stay closer to the Superdome for an affordable price.

At least the beds were comfy
The room was so tiny. There was barely room to walk with 2 queen beds a mini fridge and a mini desk. The beds were comfy. There was no staff on site when we checked out. The link to do check in and check out did not work. People were screaming and playing at pool at 3am
