Wunderschönes Geburtstagswochenende in New Orleans
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt perfekt um New Orleans zu erkunden. Gegenüber ist ein großer - zugegebenermaßen übertrieben teurer - Parkplatz. Allerdings ist in New Orleans alles mega teurer: Hotel, Parkplatz, Essen, Museen, Aktivitäten usw. Man bekommt aber auch sehr viel geboten für sein Geld. Wenn das Auto einmal steht, braucht man es nicht mehr für den Aufenthalt. Man kann alles bequem zu Fuß oder per Bahn erreichen. Das Zimmer war groß und gemütlich. Im Bad hat uns besonders die große Dusche gefallen. Hier hätte ich mich eventuell über einen kleinen Vergrößerungsspiegel gefreut. Man ist ja nicht mehr die Jüngste 😜. Das Hotel hat einen wunderschönen schattigen Innenhof mit Pool und Sitzmöglichkeiten. Das Personal war super freundlich. Im Hotel gibt es zwar kein Frühstück, aber in der Nähe findet man genügend Bars und Restaurants in denen man das typische Southern Breakfast genießen kann. Uns hat besonders Estrella Steak and Lobster House auf der gleichen Straße gefallen.

Cons:

Da fällt mir nix ein.

Pros:

Location,building, and rooms were in good, well cared for condition.

Cons:

Our room was next to a loud hallway and the door had a loud squeak every time anyone walked through. The room was also quite small with no good place to put a large suitcase. Even a luggage rack would have been nice

A wonderful place to stay, and we will stay here next time I visit N.O.
Pros:

Amazing staff, huge room, cute courtyard for hotel guests, very effective air conditioning, and a great location if you are visiting the French Quarter. It is a short walk to the river, Bourbon St, or French Market. We will definitely stay here when we visit New Orleans again!
