Superb location in the heart of historic district
Guests rave about the location of this hotel, which is right in the center of the French Quarter. Reviewers say it is an extremely convenient situation from which to explore as a tourist, and that there are plenty of markets, nightlife and restaurants in the area that provided entertainment and added convenience. The area is reportedly very picturesque with quintessential New Orleans' architecture.
positive:
Run by a welcoming, hospitable family
Reviewers rate the service at this hotel very well. Different members of the family who run the establishment are mentioned by name, with guests thanking them for their hospitality and help in ensuring they enjoyed their stay.
positive:
Individual rooms with lots of character
This hotel is advertised as 'eclectic' and guests should therefore not expect run-of-the-mill decor. The overwhelming majority of past guests loved the design concept in their room.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No parking facilities
The hotel states clearly on their website that they do not offer parking, as is standard with hotels in this busy, central area of the city. The hotel offer suggestions on their website for where guests may park their cars, as there is no street parking in the area either, but some felt it was a bit steep to have to pay for an expensive garage.
negative:
Breakfast not included
A small number of guests mention that it might be nice to have breakfast included in the stay, but overall this is a minor complaint made by very few. All suites come with kitchens, making it easy for guests to prepare their own meals.
negative:
Wi-Fi occasionally weak
There are a few comments from past guests that the Wi-Fi was slow on occasion, but most often it worked without a hitch.
