Big room little cost

Pros: Fantastic boutique hotel. Makes you feel like your in old times New Orleans with the brick. Big room for the cost. Far enough away from the French Quarter so you don't get too much noise. Close enough to walk to everything. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Room was clean and fresh looking, bed was comfy, and we had a few of the cemetery. Downstairs is a tour you can take into the cemetery. Also a unique gift shop, complete with a small coffee cafe! I'd stay here again. Cons: Nothing

Would return and recommend.

Pros: Staff was so nice, particularly Amanda at the front desk in the evenings. I loved the proximity to French quarter and fantastic bed/pillows. Loved the decor and old time vibe. Spacious rooms. Cons: Strung out lady outside in steps. Sad. Beer bottle in roof visible from my 3rd floor window.

Gute Alternative außerhalb des French Quater

Das Hotel liegt zwar etwas außerhalb, man möchte aber ehrlich gesagt auch nicht mit dem Auto in die Innenstadt fahren müssen. Die Rezeption befindet sich im Erdgeschoss, die Zimmer in den oberen Stockwerken. Diese sind schön eingerichtet, die Betten sehr bequem und die Dusche sehr angenehm. Der größte Pluspunkt: Parkplätze sind direkt neben dem Hotel zahlreich vorhanden.

Bon hébergement

Un peu surpris en arrivant dans un ancien hall de gare avec bar, vente de souvenirs, vente de visites de la ville... Mais il y a la réception de l'hôtel brakeman. Accueil très sympathique, utilisation du traducteur. Notre chambre était au troisième étage, meublée en rustique mais propre, jolie et calme. L'hôtel n'est pas loin du quartier français, tout se fait a pied. Si vous souhaitez voir les crocodiles il y a un service de ramassage qui passe à l'hôtel c'est très pratique. Il y a un parking payant face à l'hôtel mais je ne sais pas s'il est surveillé

Beautiful little hotel, needs a few tweaks and new cleaning staff.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous, quirky and spacious. Plenty of hot water, powerful showers. Reception staff are lovely. The location is perfect. Close to Bourbon street, Louis Armstrong park and some great local pubs. Cons: Our room wasnt cleaned at all throughout a 4 night stay. We had to approach reception to ask for clean towels and fresh cups. We made our own beds. No fresh bedding at all. No replacement toiletries We or beverages, didnt see the room staff until we were about to check out when she was hovering outside our room waiting for us to leave. Also because
