DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!! UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ON A LAW AND ORDER: SVU EPISODE! My best friend and I booked a cruise out of New Orleans on what happened to be Superbowl weekend and this hotel had one of the last two rooms available for a reasonable rate, although once we got there, $180 a night...

This place is by far one of the nicest places I've stayed (on a budget). It's no 30$ hotel, but it's a great place. The area surrounding it is questionable (though it didn't seem unsafe) but the hotel itself is great. The lobby area is gorgeous and it looks like it went through some remodeling not long ago. The rooms... More

I couldn't find any sign of cleaning in any spots of this hotel. It looks dirty from outside and really nasty inside. I expected some dirty from the bad reviews but it's way too far from my expectation... I felt like staying in dumpster area. I found at least dead 4 roaches, stains, and dust all over the room. Don't... More

We took a quick trip to New Orleans without a hotel reservation, not realizing AARP was having a convention there. It was late at night, the rate was reasonble and quite frankly I was just expecting shabby but clean. The place was filthy. I only spent one night and did not use the shower. The shower tiles had mold on... More

I booked this room based on the location for $139.19. It was over-priced because of the Mardigras weekend and we still booked it for the location. When we reached the hotel, the front desk clerk was on the phone and had to wait for 15 mins to checkin. The hotel was poorly maintained, torn carpets in the walkways, smell and... More

When we approached this hotel we noticed that it looked run down and we asked a front desk clerk if we could see a room before we checked in.

I have never stayed in a hotel so disgusting. This place is 20 minutes from downtown. It is a DUMP! Ok first, our reservations magically got cancelled and we ended up having to pay twice as much for the room, which after staying there I wouldn't even pay 1/8 of the price we did. We got there, the owners do... More

We traveled down for Mardi Gra.. We weren't looking to spend a lot of money because we didn't think we would really be in the hotel room. BIG MISTAKE. Upon arrival, our reservation was incorrect, as we were supposed to check out Monday, when actually it was supposed to be Tuesday. They fixed it, so whatever. This hotel is TRASH... More
