    Nice guest bath with actual bar soap! Rare these days.
    Joe S.

    Some of the best pillows I've ever had at a hotel. This pillow held up throughout my 4 nights here and didn't go flat. The bed was comfy too so I had some great nights of sleep. So 5 stars for the quality of sleep. It's not the newest hotel, think boutique hotel that's not bad. On the 3rd floor, there were two sets of stairs (up, then back down) on the way to my room so it sucked with carrying the suitcase. I'm so spoiled! The shower was nice, they actually had bars of soap (which is rare these days), and a decent closet with enough hangers for 3-4 days worth of clothes for one person. The staff was awesome. The front desk staff said good morning or good afternoon or good 4am when you got in from a late night. The people at the front door opened the door for you (except in the late hours when you had to use your key). It had a nice lobby that had a small bar that was not staffed very well, but it was close. They had a restaurant too, but didn't see too many people eating there so I skipped it. There are a few places nearby and lots of other great places in town to eat. I'd stay here again if I was going to an event at the Convention Center, as it was super close. But for getting to the French Quarter and other places in town, it's a little off the beaten path.

    Was attending a conference at the convention center and this hotel was in walking distance. However, the nicest part of the hotel was the entrance. To start, to get from the elevator to my room was exactly a minute and a half walk down a dimmed, humid hallway (even though I can hear the staff elevator right in front of my room!) The room itself had some stains (on the carpet, on the bathroom door, shower had a yellow stain). Walls are also super thin so I was woken up by people talking all the time. The hotel gym felt like someone's personal gym. It deff would feel crowded with more than 2 people in there.

The lobby is beautiful, the front desk employees were extremely kind and helpful. We reserved a room with 2 queens and a sofa sleeper - and we had room to spare!! it was a nice room for the 4 of us. and most importantly - CLEAN! We valet parked when we got there and did not get our car until we left

    We booked this hotel based on the Yelp & Google reviews and Reddit recommendations…read more The only PRO of staying here is the location. It is very conveniently located to Bourbon Street. The 2 things I care most about when staying in a hotel is a comfortable night's rest and a good bathroom/shower. The bed in our room was the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. It was so mushy that when you laid your head down, you sunk so far into it that your legs were literally 45 degrees above your head. I ended up sleeping upside down in the bed with my head where your feet go in order to feel even remotely comfortable. The pillows were all extremely flat, when you put your head on one it sank so far your face was about 1/2 inch from the mattress. I had to use 3 pillows stacked on each other. I had a stiff back, neck and joints the entire time we were there. The 2nd issue was hot water. The first morning, we attempted to shower, it only got barely luke warm for me and when my husband showered immediately after he only got ice cold water. We stopped at the front desk that morning on our way out for the day and told the woman at the front desk. She said she hadn't received any other complaints so it must be specific to our room and she would send engineering there to look at it. (we were getting hot water in the sink). Later that evening when we returned to our room, we immediately tested the shower again and it was still ice cold. So we went back to the front desk to check if engineering had come. We spoke to the same woman from the morning who acted like it was the first time we were telling her this and she said the exact same thing. I asked if they were going to come ASAP because we needed to shower soon and we couldn't take ice cold showers. She ignored my question and answered the ringing phone. A manager happened to be at the desk and overheard our conversation. He asked what our room number was and said that because of the old building and the pipes the hot water takes longer to get there. He said this was a KNOWN Issue by the staff, management and the owner. He told us to run the shower for AT LEAST 15 to 20 minutes, simultaneously with the sink and it should get hot. He also offered to move us to a different room but when I asked if he could guarantee if we wouldn't have the same problem in that room he couldn't give me a straight answer. We had already unpacked everything and didn't want to go through that hassle without a guarantee. So we went back to the room and let it run for 20 minutes and it eventually got hot. So for the remaining 3 mornings, we had to set our alarms for 30 minutes earlier so we could get up and run our shower before hand. For nearly $300 a night, we felt that this was ridiculous. Old building or not, if its a problem, then either don't put people in those rooms, or get it fixed somehow. Why should anyone be subjected to an ice old shower or an inconvenience to their time because the owner hasn't done anything about it? We visited the hotel Bar, the Bourbon O'bar 3 times during our stay and each time we received TERRIBLE service. None of the bartenders were friendly to us, in fact they were pretty rude. Each time it took them at least 10 minutes to even take our order (by standing there and looking at us and not saying anything). The bar was not busy or crowded any of these times. They would then start making one of our drinks, put it down and make other people's drinks, leave and go into a back room, play on their cell phone, talk to each other, or carry the glass around while doing other things. My husband ordered an old fashioned and the alcohol was sitting in the jar with the ice for over 5 minutes while the bartender carried it around doing other things, causing it to get watered down. When making a cocktail, it should be completed from start to finish without doing other things in the middle. I ordered the Mardi Drop cocktail on 2 different days. The first time, it was actually very good. The 2nd time from a different bartender it was horrible .He also sprinkled probably a tablespoon of cinnamon on top of it (which the first didn't have) which made it nearly undrinkable. I had to stir it into the martini in order to not get a mouthful of cinnamon with each sip. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant Roux because of the bad Yelp reviews - we felt we could get a better breakfast elsewhere outside the hotel. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all unless you don't care about being comfortable or friendly service.

At check-in the rep asked "did you mean to book that room?" Yes we did!! We originally requested a 3rd floor private balcony but were given a 4th floor private balcony and oh hell yea was this perfect. Open the French doors and the cacophony of Bourbon St. envelopes the room; it's everywhere. But close the French doors and it's quiet; how I don't know but perfectly comfortably quiet for us. Added bonus, this being Easter, our 4th floor balcony gave us such a fantastic viewing spot to watch the colorful sights coming down Bourbon heading to the gay Easter parade a few blocks away. Our room also gave us a great vantage point for watching sunrise with the St.Louis Cathedral steeple in the foreground. On our final night we decided to order take-out to enjoy from our balcony; dinner and a show essentially, and cheaper too. Hotel is centrally located on Bourbon, wonderfully friendly and helpful staff, complimentary coffee available around 6am (big plus given it's normally 7am everywhere else) made this a perfect hotel for us.

It was paid for in full before we arrived. When we requested our money to be released, we were told that we would have to contact our bank. Upon doing so, on a 3-call with the hotel, the bank was showing that the merchant was in control of the funds not the bank. Then I was told that the hotel had a new system and they are working out the bugs. Then I get a call from the hotel asking if I would approve them to hold out the parking fee. I still haven't gotten my money credited back to my account. Save yourself the aggravation and the mental anguish....find another hotel.

No car needed, so when your cab pulls up at your new digs you are already on a first name basis with everyone greeting you. Right this way to check in-you'll be in the Club Level. When they details the hours and bites or drinks in the club level, pay attention. You're paying for it so take advantage. You could get by eating and drinking there all day. Pellegrinos to the room at night, or a fresh round of roadies that you just take right out to the streets. Reload as needed. The room was comfy and luxurious. The gym is huge, and there's a hot tub!

The grounds were very much well kept. The staff that stood out was Corayma Castillo. She was very kind, professional and helpful. Everyone else were otherwise great. I loved that they had tea and beignets available at the lobby in the afternoon. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
