Disappointing stay. Hotel price for hostel accommodation.
Pros:

The room itself is clean and comfortable. The location is walkable, with ability to walk to Frenchman and Bourbon.

Cons:

It was difficult to locate our room, since the room number on the door did not match the room number in check in instructions, and the person who answered their customer help number was inattentive and confused. There was no toilet paper in the room. We were awoken at 10am by a woman knocking and immediately unlocking and entering our door, though check out is not until 11. We did not realize the layout of the hotel involved our room door facing a common space in which people walked in and out of all night, and we could hear everything.

The bathroom shower and microwave was dirty. The fire alarm keep beeping and going off . They had wet clothes in the apt
Pros:

Bourbon was walking distance and it was shopping place and food place I loved that

Cons:

That I had pay 32.00 for 4 days straight didn’t know that I wouldn’t got a renter. Feeding the meter everyday blow me bad. Wish I was told that no paying was included or at least a one day parking fee I was ok with that .

OVERALL I requested a refund for the room as I left within 15 minutes of the stay.
Pros:

The 3 bedroom was spacious and look clean; however there were ants crossing the threshold when I arrived to the room. Inside everything appeared to be clean and organized.

Cons:

When we arrived early there was no attendant so we weren’t able to store baggage until we got confirmation to check in that really suck for people traveling and arrive early. Then we left to find refuge in the 107 degree weather and couldn’t get back in to grab my wallet and cup.. Returned to the hotel at 2 o’clock once the code came in and both were gone and the cleaning person could not really speak English stated she saw nothing… Went into the room I saw ants and then the biggest issue was NO AIR my watch read 80 degrees for the room I was standing in…….

Make this your last resort, or don't do it
Pros:

I like the size of the apartment. It was close to the French Quarter.

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no parking. There were roaches in the refrigerator. I made several calls to the property manager, and he did nothing about our concerns.
