The hotel is in a convenient location, walking distance to French Quarters and Louis Armstrong Park. The rooms are small and aged but kept clean. The service was mixed, with friendly staff but lackluster response to concerns. The price and value for money were disappointing. The location is central, though some areas are not great.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was near the Quarter for Jazz Fest, which was convenient, but the room was in terrible condition, making it hard to stay longer than necessary. The service was wonderful and helpful with local tips, but the neighborhood had some scary aspects. The dining experience was not detailed, but the hotel offers a grocery shopping service and tours/ticket assistance.
Rooms

The room was small and in a terrible condition, with a full-size bed on a visibly dirty box spring, old furniture, and a broken tile floor. It was hard to feel comfortable in such conditions.
Service

The service was wonderful, with helpful directions and local tips. However, the neighborhood had some concerning aspects.

I stayed at this hotel with mixed feelings. The rooms could definitely use some maintenance, with paint chipping and walls needing a good clean. Unfortunately, our neighbors were loud, and there were even cockroaches spotted on the first day of our stay. On the positive side, the hotel staff was accommodating and handled our requests well.

Location

The location is not ideal for a peaceful stay, with noise from a nearby guitar player, and the area seems less desirable compared to other accommodations.

We didn't have a great dining experience, but the thin crispy fries were a standout. Price for food was reasonable.

The facilities were basic, nothing extraordinary, and left much to be desired.
