Pros:

Great location, nice staff and doormen, nice design and atmosphere

Cons:

There was a tornado alert on our last night there and the staff didn’t say anything to the guests to guide them on what to do. Also on the time of checkout they were very uptight to make sure we left the room exactly at 11:00. No hotel we have ever been in did that.

Pros:

This hotel is wonderful. On Decatur St two blocks from Jackson Square in the French Quarter. Several old buildings and a super attentive staff. Rooms with all the amenities and atmosphere to boot. My 5th stay there over 25 years. It can’t be beaten!
