"GREAT LOCATION ❗"

I was in town for the French Quarter Festival and this location is in a primo location. You basically walk out of the lobby, and you are at the festival which is such a perk. With regards to this particular hotel, the staff and the hotel itself are absolutely amazing. On the morning of my arrival, I was having a rough start to my day and vacation and SHONTRIA changed that in an instant. She was pleasant, polite, knowledgably and efficient ...can't say enough nice things about her. My entire mood and vibe instantly changed 😎. Now ELYSIA just blew my mind as not only was she a total pleasure as well, but she remembered and knew me by name 😀. I also have to say the GM also seemed to remember me; all this made my stay seem so personable. Everything about this location is wonderful. Rooms are clean, bright with lots of outlets and plugs to charge multiple devices and an awesome big screen television with a desk to do whatever tasks needed during my stay... Housekeeping was efficient and patient and always did a great job. Although I didn't use the pool, I saw many couples, families and individuals using it or just hanging in the beautiful courtyard. Let's also not forget the $$$ Hotel is very affordable and when you consider all that is provided, I highly recommend this location for Festival vacations or just for visiting New Orlean French Quarter.

Very friendly staff, we were able to check in early which was very nice after a long morning of travel, very clean, comfortable beds, the courtyard area is quiet and peaceful, muted sounds of New Orleans night life can be heard but not loudly.
