The location was perfect for exploring local attractions.
The bathroom was in desperate need of a deep clean, with visible stains.

Comfortable room, convenient location, with free parking and great staff that made our stay enjoyable during our 3 nights visiting, just a short distance from Union station and within walking distance to the French Quarter.

Good location, but very unsafe and dirty. Cockroaches in the room were unsettling.

Surprisingly Enjoyable Stay Despite Reservations
I booked this place with low expectations due to many negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the French Quarter, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The room, while basic and a bit dated, was clean and served my needs well. My only complaint would be that a few repairs are needed around the hotel to improve the overall experience.

The room had cold AC and good water pressure with hot water in the shower. There was a second-floor balcony to smoke, providing a nice outdoor space. However, the area felt unsafe with a lot of shady people around, the overall cleanliness was lacking, and the mattress quality was poor, leading to an uncomfortable night. Access was restricted after hours, which offered some peace of mind, but issues with security deposits raised concerns.
