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.

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.

Sonia

It is a unique building, but checkbinbwasnt very smooth. Our room door wasn't opening properly, nor could we close it. There was water leaking in the entryway from the ceiling. We switched rooms and the only available room had no window. The cleaning was somewhat subpar, there was visible substance on the toilet and hair on bathroom.floor and shower. I didn't complain because we were told it was the last available room. Coffee maker didnt work so we had to buy overpruced coffee at cafe.
