We booked a 4 night stay at this hotel on 2/1-5/12 b/c we were meeting friends who wanted to vacation in this city. Our friends picked us up from the airport and we arrived at the hotel ~2 pm and instead of holding our luggage, the management was able to let us register early. We had booked a suite which included a sitting room with couch & TV with another TV in the bedroom. The room had a refrig. & microwave with coffee/tea service. The suite was very clean. This hotel was originally 5 buildings which were remodeled into a hotel. We had high ceilings (15 ft) which added to the charm to this hotel. We enjoyed the hot breakfast (waffles,eggs, meat, fruit, oatmeal, muffins, bagels, juice, etc.). I liked that the hotel tried to vary the way to serve eggs; one day we had eggs burrito style with cheese, green peppers & salsa; another morning we had fried eggs instead of the usual scambled. In the evening they had drink specials which were pretty reasonable for a hotel. I also loved the fireplace room and comfy couch & side chairs to enjoy the morning paper or to wait for friends. There was a bright large lobby with additional seating. There was a coffee/tea station 24 hrs in the lobby and fresh cookies, too, by the registration desk. There are two computers with printers for guest use. This hotel was was ~5 blocks from the convention center (short blocks) with Harrah's casino as a diversion. Our friends used the Premium public parking around the corner for $10 a day. There were many public parking areas to choose from. One day we played for 30 minutes on the penny machines at Harrah's and that allowed us to park free at their parking ramp for 24 hrs. This hotel is very convenient to French Quarter; we were 2 blocks away from Canal street. We walked back every night after visiting the FQ and we never had any feeling of danger. Lots of people walking around at night; just use common sense. The cleaning staff corrected a flickering light in our room immediately. The hotel front desk & conciergie staff were extremely friendly and very helpful during our 4 day stay, always with a smile. I would stay at this hotel again and will recommend it to my friends.

Glad you had a great stay here in New Orleans! It seems like you got a wide array of New Orleans experiences, and a good feel for both the downtown area and our property. Hopefully you get to come back down again soon and we can earn that fifth star! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us, and those thinking of staying with us in the future!
