We were in the Deluxe King room and had an insane view of the St. Louis cemetary next door. Beautiful, roomy room and comfortable bed. I loved being just on the border of the French Quarter so we could walk there within minutes without actually staying in it. If I am ever in New Orleans again, I would absolutely stay here again.
