We were there 4 nights. Room cleaning erratic. Had towels with stains 2 nights. Poor quality towels. Stains on the walls from water leaks. Did not refill coffee or cups one night. Location on Bourbon Street is convenient but definitely not worth the price.

Great staff very helpful Our cruise was delayed for 11 hours and they held our bags for free which really helped The only thing was the water temperature was really cold and I know it’s not the hotels fault but the roads around the hotels were not made for a low clearance sports car

All of the staff was super friendly. Door man, front desk and valets were highlights of the stay. Had the Bourbon balcony and although I didn’t stay out super late the outside noise didn’t make it impossible to fall asleep. Parking is easy to find, just put the hotel address in google maps and stay on Conti until you pass the hotel then look to your right. Christmas decorations were amazing, lots of photo opportunities. Everyone greeted my dog and there’s some natural green space for dogs about a 10 minute walk away.

Right on bourbon street, which makes it loud in the evening. Shower doesn’t get hot and there are very strange noises from the ducting. Loud enough to wake a light sleeper. Lobby is nice. Location is convenient. But wouldn’t stay again.

Wonderful costumer service! All employees were so friendly! Alberto at Desire Oyster bar was the best! Housekeeping service the room even though we left our room rather late each day. Doormen were delight! Only negative was all the construction on Bourbon street but that was of no fault of the hotel.
