6.8/10

The hotel had the potential to be fantastic for accommodating six people comfortably, although it had a lingering smoke odor. The room was cozy but in need of some care and attention.

Rooms

6.0

The room wreaked of smoke but was still comfy. It could use a little love.

Service

7.0

The staff worked SO hard to accommodate my early check-in request and room preference, even though I had a brief issue at arrival. The housekeeping left a door visibly open.

Location

9.0

The location was excellent for exploring New Orleans, within walking distance of everything I wanted to see and do.

Dining

5.0

I wished for some fresh fruit during my stay, as the breakfast options were lacking. The food seemed frozen and left outside with no warmer, and staff was hard to find.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities lacked variety in dining options and communication with staff, impacting the experience.

6.4/10

Staying at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The rooms offered a cozy setup in a 'shotgun' style house shared with other rooms. While suitable for a young group, it may lack some elements for a mature couple. The service was friendly and accommodating, with minor disturbances in the form of late-night parties outside the rooms. The location was central for exploring key attractions, although safety concerns arose during the stay. The dining experience varied from average to poor, affected by disposable crockery, food packaging, and occasional remodeling inconveniences.

7.8/10

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with cozy and comfy rooms located on the roof offering a nice view of the neighborhood. However, a small mix-up resulted in us having different rooms for our two-night stay. The cleanliness was good overall, just needed some extra attention to detail in the bathroom ventilation.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were comfy and cozy and had all we needed for our stay, although we had to switch rooms during our stay. Cleanliness was generally good.

Service

7.0

The service was very friendly and the staff was cordial and informative about local venues and directions. However, there were some noisy instances that could be heard in the room, and the breakfast area seemed a bit crowded at times.

Location

9.0

The location was great, within easy walking distance of Frenchman's St and other attractions. It wasn't far from the French Quarter, but the extra charge for secure parking was a bit of a downside.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was good overall, with friendly guests and food available at the stated times. However, some improvements could be made to the variety of options offered.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel had nice facilities with a little bar fridge in the room. It offered free dining options and the products were of high quality.
