    Very good stay in heart of French Quarter

    The room was comfortable and quiet--an interior facing room that didn't get any of the noise from loud party goers during a festival week. Location was great, right in the heart of the French quarter. The furnishings were a bit tired and dated though, and for the price we paid, I would have expected more upgraded furnishings.

    Great location and the Jazz playhouse is very special

    Fantastic location and staff, the Jazz Playhouse and pool area are fantastic. Bathroom was a little tired and water was $8 a bottle. But overall it was a true slice of New Orleans. Very much recommended and overall we are glad we chose this hotel.

    Fab few days with hubby!

    We stayed here before and after our cruise for a total of four nights. A fantastic location right in the heart of Bourbon Street, within walking distance to loads of attractions. Had a slight hic up with our first room as not cleaned but quickly allocated another. Great toiletries available with a fantastic bathroom. The coffee/tea machine also a great addition along with a fridge! A safe also available. The room as well as the hotel fantastically clean. Beautiful hotel. Unfortunately no time to use the pool but looked fantastic.

    Delightful

    Wade is a delightful employee who brought a mile to my face. Employees are polite. Food was good. Meeting accommodations were terrific. Never had to wait for extra drinks. Restaurant R’evolution was exceptional. See my review in Google maps for more about it. One opportunity is to freshen the bathrooms by the fitness center and in the courtyard hallway. They were very run down and had broken seats.
