Categories

8.4
Mostly praised as exceptionally clean in multiple reviews, though one guest reported a severe mold/damp smell in their initial room and some reports of greasy-feeling floors.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly described as super friendly, helpful and going above and beyond (helping with luggage, responsive to room moves); generally a strong positive in the reviews.
Location
9
Excellent location noted repeatedly — corner streetcar stop, easy access to Canal Street, French Quarter, Garden District and nearby breakfast/parade routes.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are often called comfortable and clean, but there are recurring issues: some rooms lack windows or chairs, dated fixtures, missing light bulbs/furniture, loud AC or street noise and occasional plumbing/maintenance problems.
Amenities
7
Limited onsite amenities mentioned: coffee available but complaints about maid service, no elevator, and at least one guest requested an in-room kettle that was missing.
Value for Money
8.5
Multiple guests called the price reasonable or inexpensive for the location and overall experience, indicating good value despite some shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Few mentions: complimentary coffee available; most guests referenced nearby breakfast spots rather than on-site dining, so F&B is limited but adequate for this property type.
Overall Experience
8
Overall sentiment is positive — many enthusiastic recommendations and repeat-intent, tempered by a handful of significant negative experiences (mold, noisy rooms, maintenance issues).
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Pros:

Exceptionally clean hotel and helpful staff.
