Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Check in was good because the front desk person told us that the room that Travelocity offered for an upgrade (with an extra charge) would not accommodate the three of us.. she gave us another room but when we got to the room, none of our keys worked. The clerk then told us after she tried the keys and they did not work for her.. to take the room next door. I was very surprised and disappointed that a hotel that has a sign advertising that it’s a historical hotel had tattered and ripped carpeting.. not very appealing. The next day one of the keys stopped working for the room. The lady at check out seemed a bit confused with the process and I was a little discouraged by her comments as she was trying to re-explain the upgrade. I especially did not like her incorrect comment that I paid for only two people in the room and there were three of us. Incorrect and an embarrassing moment in front of my adult grandchildren as I paid for the trip. This was not true either. The location was good, but I believe there are better choices in the area. I would not stay there again.

The property was within walking distance of anything you need/want to do. The beds are small but comfortable. It is pretty quiet there but we did have a white noise machine. Everything was nice and clean and the staff was very kind!

Close to everything but just far enough away to be quiet. Elegant rooms but some light fixtures are too big and hung too low. Rooms were very clean as well as the reast of the hotel. We were accidentally sent to the wrong room but that was corrected. Could maybe use more staff during peak check-in Check-out time. But it was a very nice stay.

Our room a/c broke we were told they could move us to another hotel or give us a box fan. We had another group with us and they wouldn't move us both. They didn't even off a reimbursement. It took them over a hour and us calling them to finally move us to another room.

While the property as a whole looked very nice, our staff was not the greatest. The staff were not good at communicating fees and charges. We utilized their “valet” service which is them parking your car at an undisclosed location, which requires about a 40 min wait to get back. We were charged daily for this service and were charged again after check out, but was not provided any receipts or documentation as their system was “down”.

The Hotel was good, you could hear noise from the street but it’s in the heart of New Orleans so no big deal. What set this hotel apart was the staff. Cynthia was AMAZING! We had a speedy check in and she took great care of us when we were running late for an excursion. My review was only as high as it was because of her, great people make all the difference!
