We love the location and it feels safe. The room at the front was very noisy however, hall/entrance as well as street noise and the room above. Would definitely stay again, just not in the front hall rooms.

Convenient location about 1.5 miles or less from the french quarter. Easy check in/check out. Free coffee. Only real complaint we had was the bed and pillows were really firm and not comfortable. Good location near plenty of food and is convenient to the street car and RTA buses

The building is an 1890s house that has been lovingly converted into a guest house and well maintained. Our room was beautiful, and the bathroom was updated and comfortable. The electronic keys worked really well, and the staff was pleasant and helpful.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights, before our cruise. It is a lovely Victorian with charm and convenience. Being on St Charles Ave, the streetcar is right in front of the hotel. And right in the middle of the French Quarter and the Garden District of New Orleans. Restaurants, cocktail lounges, and shopping, are all within walking distance as well. Our host Diane was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We are looking forward to another stay here, next time we get to New Orleans.

It was a great stay. It was a small hotel so there was no elevator. There was also only on street parking which was very difficult during Mardi Gras, but other than that it was great.

Rented two rooms - ‘deluxe queen’ and ‘premium king’. This isn’t a hotel it’s rooms with digital entries that we found unreliable. (They ended up giving us a physical key because the digital look/code didn’t work.) Deluxe room was 10% more $ but louder, smaller, and had a toilet that wasn’t properly attached to the floor and rocked. They moved us to a king with the door right on St Charles. Room itself much better but on the other side of the wall from the head of the bead was a metal gate that slammed shut at all hours, shaking the entire wall. The coffee was an empty commercial pot in the storage room with instructions on how to diy.

First time to New Orleans and this was a nice place to stay. Right outside is the trolly that takes you to the French Quarter - less than 15 min trip and it runs 24 hours. There is street parking down the street and around the corner that is free. Due to our arrival and departure we did not see a single hotel staff but we didn’t need anything so that did not matter. It is very clean and well set up. We would stay here again.

Excellent service and location

The front desk lady was attentive and so friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location with a streetcar about a block away which took you right to French Quarter for a buck. Very quiet at night time since it was a little away from the start of French Quarter and lots of regular and fast food restaurants within two blocks around it. Lovely stay.

This is our 2nd stay. Stayed a week back in August 2000!! Rooms are clean and well lit. The only downside is that it is an older property, so the walls are thin. Right next door is U Pizza. They have the best burgers!! There’s also a streetcar stop across the street and it’s about a 10 min ride to Canal and Bourbon Sts. Also within walking distance of the former house of Anne Rice, Lafayette Cemetery and the Garden District Bookstore.

There wasn’t any staff. Very strange to enter and only see hand written notes taped up. Entry was very difficult. The bathroom was awful, broken toilet seat, broken toilet paper holder and NO toilet paper. And very small toiletries. I don’t recommend and will never go back.
