The hotel is in a convenient location between the convention center and the French Quarter, making it perfect for accessing various sites. The rooms, despite being clean and offering a comfy bed for a good night's sleep, had issues like darkness and a musty smell. The service quality varied from very friendly to almost indifferent, with some staff members lacking professionalism. Overall, the hotel presents a nice place to stay, though improvements in service consistency and room conditions are needed.

The hotel is ideally located for exploring New Orleans, right in the middle of everything, making our visit easier without worrying about parking. However, there's no natural air flow in the rooms, which can make things feel a bit damp. The service had some hiccups like not offering compensation for inconveniences and not the best handling of tour bookings and maintenance issues.

The room I was given on the second floor required using the elevator, even though I had requested no elevator due to claustrophobia. Despite this, the room itself was nice to stay in.
Service

The hotel's location is a definite advantage, within walking distance to key French Quarter attractions, like Bourbon Street and other sites. Using GPS for exploration was easy, and the Ruby Slipper tour company nearby was convenient.
Dining

The adjoining Ruby Slipper for dining was a plus, although the pricing could be considered high at $169 per night. Valet parking in front of the building was convenient, but information on breakfast availability could have been clearer.

The hotel is conveniently located near Canal St and the Riverwalk with clean rooms, but having a room on the ground floor was not ideal. On the upside, they held a room for our friends, which was a nice touch.

The hotel was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives. The rooms occasionally had a stale smoke smell and felt crowded with 2 beds, but the staff was amazing and accommodating. The location was fantastic, close to the French Quarter, but the dining had long lines daily. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
