Lois greeted us at the door with charm, kindness, and super informative! The Tour Guide was very informative and made everything flow good with the whole group. It was more fun than I ever would’ve expected! Tour Guides name is Zelda! She’s the best. Gregory, the manager, he’s straight forward and helped us out with local info like we did not expect. Found some good eaten spots from Mr Gregory.

This is a clean, boutique hotel close to everything by walking or a short drive. Reasonable parking at $20/day. Mr. Greg is a wealth of information. Part of the historic train stop building, it has a great vibe and has a visitor center in the building as well.

"A must stay in Nola"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed September 23, 2024
What a gem! I have been to Nola probably 10+ times in my life and this is by far the best place I have stayed in. Also reasonably priced parking as well that is monitored by security. Mr Gregory in at the front gives you excellent recommendations. I ate at new places that he recommended and he is so friendly. All of the staff was, but Mr Greg was my favorite. They give you a supply of extra towels and some toiletry items in in your room. The SPACE in these rooms. I couldn't believe it. The doors also are locked after 5 pm so you felt safe. I absolutely will stay here again!
