A lovely old and extremely convenient hotel in New Orleans with outstandingly helpful staff with great service. Had best possible location in the playhouse, very close to Riverfront. Great to have a lobby restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

I had a great time at the hotel during my recent stay. The pool was fantastic, and the staff was super friendly. The hotel's location was perfect, just a couple of blocks away from the Quarter and near the Art/Warehouse District, making it easy to explore the area. Additionally, the hotel's quiet ambiance provided a peaceful retreat from the bustling city.
There were some downsides to my experience. The lack of information provided at check-in was disappointing, and the dated rooms with malfunctioning toilets were a letdown.

PJ's Coffee Cafe serves heavenly coffee and tasty bites, the art collection is impressive, Desire Oyster Bar offers delicious fresh Gulf oysters, and the hotel amenities are top-notch.
The walls are so thin, I could practically join the conversations in the neighboring rooms. Oh, the joys of eavesdropping.
