Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were so big, had large bathrooms, and were spacious, clean, and loaded with old-world charm, exceeding our expectations. The service was very helpful and informative, making my time there even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, close enough to walk around the French Quarter but far enough away from the craziness of Bourbon Street to be 'family-friendly'. However, it's worth noting that some areas were in a state and off-limits. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms exceeded all my expectations - they were so comfortable and clean, and the size was just perfect. Having a balcony and a kitchen with all the utensils made my stay exceptional. The service was top-notch; the staff was really nice, helpful, and responsive to our needs. The location was superb, allowing me to walk around the French Quarter easily while still being away from the noisy Bourbon Street. The fresh farm-to-table dining experience was a delightful bonus. The hotel facilities were great and well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the location was excellent. However, there were some issues with the service and bathroom sinks in the room that needed improvement.
