This is an older boutique hotel. Bit it was lovely. Clean, SPACIOUS. It was walkable to Canal, Bourbon Street, Magazine st and the River walk. The safe was lovely and attentive and they give an adequate continental bkfst with DELISH coffee as well. I would most definitely stay here again.

Pros:

My room had the bedroom door missing. TV in the living room didn’t work and when I showered the water cut completely off while showering and when it came back on the pressure was extremely low. My room number was 846.
