Miserable Service

by wpbabe

I stayed at this hotel this past month (July 2003). I did not receive housekeeping once in 4 days. I requested to speak to the manager, who was mysteriously never around and did not return messages. They did give us fresh sheets so we could make our own beds. The swimming pool was absolutely filthy. Also, it should be noted that you should not stay here if you don't like to walk, as it a long walk to any French Quarter attractions.

• Cons: dirty, poor service, inconvenient location

authentic

Well! I loved this hotel! Yes, the floors were creaky, the walls were thin, and the computer was down at check-out. But, the staff was helpful and unintrusive. It is beyond my imagination what some people are looking for when they visit the French Quarter, and this area was no worse or better than any of the streets in the Quarter. If you want a 5 star hotel then book a 5 star hotel, but if you are looking to go back in time and feel the ambiance of a by-gone era, this is one of the best! The only problems my sisters and I encountered were from other guests: spilled a cooler of water upstairs which came through the ceiling and beyond late (or early) pool parties.

• Pros: inexpensive, romantic, convenient
• Cons: on 4 lane street, needs music, thin walls

nice hotel for the price

by utah

like the previous review said this hotel is not near the best neighborhood. but Bourbon Street is only a 5 minute walk away. the rooms are big, hotel it a little outdated but again for the price it's not bad. Just be careful when you walk back at 3am from Bourbon St
