This building was built in the 1890s with much of the feel of that era. The St. Charles Streetcar stops in front of the Inn and was the primary way we got around. Fabulous location to explore New Orleans from.

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.

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.

A beautifully renovated historic property!

We stayed here while In New Orleans for a weekend trip. It is an absolutely beautiful property. We loved our balcony room. It was huge and very clean and we could walk right out of our room onto the street. We loved that it was literally right in front of one of the Stops for the St Charles Street car. We used that to get around the French quarter area. Communication from the property was great as well. There is street noise but they provided a white noise machine. We will absolutely stay here again when we come to town!!
