Andrew Jackson Hotel French Quarter (New Orleans, USA)

Everyone is so friendly and helpful; plus, rooms are attractively themed with super comfortable beds. So, the hotel is rich in genuine hospitality .. and much enjoyed southern comfort!! *Breakfast in your room and on a silver tray? Life can't get better than this!

The Jazzy Pass from the nice lady on reception gets you everywhere really cheaply; including the mustn't miss 'Rock 'n Bowl'! You don't need a car but maybe the occasional cab? Coming home in the early hours on hands and knees is uncomfortable and takes forever!!

This place isn't the last word in luxury - but it IS in a fantastic location, with staff who move heaven and earth to ensure that you're happy. All in all, top value at 100%.

Rooms are very small .. uncomfortably small! Also, furnishings aren't' antique' - they're just plain old and worn out.

The air con noise is unbelievably loud and from all accounts, has a life of its own and is uncontrollable. Set in the wall, the whole structure vibrates as it swings into action.

Something is wrong when you walk into a room and it smells 'musty'. Add to this, stained sheets and mattresses that are uncomfortable and with an unduly long term history. In short, it 'sucks'; unlike the vacuum cleaner!
