This hotel was so unique! We loved the walkability to other areas of NOLA. There was easy access to tours from the downstairs lobby - hop on/hop off bus, cemetery tour. The rooms were comfortable and there were so many points that required key access that the location felt very secure.

This hotel was beautiful! Had a very historic feel, while having the modern convenience. Make sure to visit the gift shop. You can book most any tour in the lobby. Has a great cafe, that I wish opened just a bit earlier. 4 blocks from Bourbon St, so the tipsy walk home isn't too bad. The rooms are HUGE! Nice bathroom and shower. Overall, a great place to stay.

Mr Gregory checked us in. The best guy i have met. He knew the city and the best spots to eat at a great price. This gentleman knows his city and is proud off it. No other ataff evwn bothered to speak to us during the day. He works the evening shift. It was an honor staying here and having the opportunity to get to know this man.
