Can’t wait to go back for a longer trip.
We stayed here for two nights as we were boarding the Carnival Cruise on Monday 9/30.. They allowed us to check in early as we were 6 hours before checkin but my husband hadn’t slept in over 24 hours. We then went to Bourbon Street and Canal Street and did a lot of walking. We were always greeted with smile and warm welcome. Loved the iced lemon cucumber water available in the lobby. The only negative we had was the overpriced stocked fridge and snack items.

Gem in the Heart of NOLA
This hotel was so well maintained. I wish we could have taken advantage of more of the amenities but we were only there for just a short stay. Nothing was dated about this property and we would definitely return, close to the action but far enough to be able to get a good nights sleep!

The hotel was clean, quiet, updated and safe. The staff were exceptional. Everyone looked happy and proud to be at work. The amenities were great. Free morning coffee and free evening wine. The location was convenient. The only thing about NOLA that no one tells you is there are terrible at construction. Twice in our 4 day stay we had to walk into the street to get around construction workers and diggers that were actively breaking up the road and/or laying asphalt directly in the pedestrian walkway outside the hotel in the evening.
