Excellent location and everything was really great! I was a bit nervous about noise since I tend to be a light sleeper, but we were in one of the private rooms and it was super, I didn't need to even use ear plugs. The room ceilings are really high, modern, and the AC was perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
You can walk to anywhere in the French Quarter and there is a streetcar right in front of the hotel, so the transportation is very convenient. The shared kitchen is spacious and open 24 hours a day, so I used it often. The only inconvenient things were that there was only a small light by the bedside so it was dim, and in some shower rooms the water was lukewarm, and the breakfast selection was limited. The cost of the stay was very reasonable, so I think it was great value for money and suitable for long-term stays. I would like to stay here again when I visit New Orleans again!
