Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were so grande and gorgeous, with the balcony, that I found myself spending more time at the hotel than I planned. The courtesy drinks and goodies were a nice touch. The only downside was that my room was on the ground floor, which was marginally noisy as the window faced the street.
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are superb - beautiful, quiet, and impeccably clean, making it a perfect choice for solo or couple travelers. The service was top-notch with paid valet parking available and helpful tours/ticket assistance. The location is a dream, nestled in the Lower Garden District, close to the vibrant Magazine Street for great restaurants and shopping, and conveniently connected to the trolley for easy access to downtown and the French Quarter. Dining options were varied, ranging from nearby restaurants to the much-needed coffee and croissants at the friendly bar. While the facilities were good overall, the dining experience didn't leave a lasting impression, lacking in some areas.
