The complimentary coffee was amazing. The staff always greeted us with a smile and conversation. Loved the quiet little courtyard. It was far enough from the main Bourbon street noise but convenient enough to walk everywhere. I would definitely stay there again.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the unique features such as the patio and the stand alone tub. I would definitely stay there again.
This is a great spot in French Quarter. Walkable from most attractions in French Quarter and Frenchmen Street. Loved staying here. Staff is super nice. The courtyard was great to hang out for a short break.
My only negative feedback is that the beds were uncomfortable. But for an option this affordable, I doubt I will find super nice bed anywhere.

Even though it is an older building, there were little things that could have been kept up better. Overall it was a nice hotel. Staff was helpful and informative. Good location with reasonable it you are looking to be in the French Quarter. The pastry shop across the street is killer!
It's a beautiful, fun place, in a nice, quiet location in the French Quarter.

Just ok.
The customer service and location are the biggest selling points to this hotel. The rooms are just ok and really in need of major renovation. If they do that this place is really going to be a great stay.
For myself and my party, we had an excellent stay. The staff was relaxed and extremely helpful when I needed to park my rental car for a day. I appreciated the long standing history and spiritual energy all around the neighborhood. For folks with inquiring curious minds and those who appreciate the past and love a cozy room (#303) and a cute balcony view outside your door, the this hotel is for you!
The property was just the definition of character!! Easy walk to many things!! Very friendly staff!!

Super adorable old building. Rooms are pretty small, but I ended up just getting two (4 people total) and we were incredibly comfortable. I was surprised how quiet the street was, expecting loud drunk Mardi Gras noises street being so close to Bourbon. Great affordable hotel. Will return for sure
