Wonderful other than the room location
Pros:

Everything. Great location, comfortable.

Cons:

Had room adjacent to the elevator motor. Every time someone used the elevator, the room rattled. Very noisy especially late at night and early morning.

It was fine. Next time, ask for a description of the fan in the bedroom before committing.
Pros:

The bedroom was small, but intriguing- felt like a good sense of place. The pool area was simple and relaxing. Absolutely perfect location in relation to Jackson Square and restaurants. The door greeter was very nice and had a great knowledge of the hotel. Front desk were neutral- receptive if needed.

Cons:

The room was very cute, but hard to sleep in! The air conditioning unit ran the fan even when turned off completely, and directed the air directly onto the bed. I had to cover the fan with clothing draped over the unit to reduce the aggressive airflow. No matter, I woke up with a dry throat and limited sleep. The sheets were super thin and short- bed was not comfortable.

Amazing - can't wait to come back!
Pros:

Room - we had a room with a window facing out towards Decatur and the room darkening shades were beautiful and functional. The antique furniture and decor hit the right tone for understated elegance. Best nights rest in a long time. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Having an elevator in a NO building was a plus too since I had some knee issues. We have even booked follow up visits for our son's wedding next April. The patio is simply gorgeous, and we can't wait to take wedding photos there! Convenient location to all the happenings in and around the French Quarter. Loved it!

Cons:

Not a thing!

Lovely stay!
Pros:

We had 3 nights here, and it was an excellent stay. The hotel is in a fantastic location, and easy walking distance to all the sights. Our room was spacious and clean, and well equipped - and very quiet. We overlooked the small pool in the interior courtyard, and it was very quiet at night (we were also there in August, which is low season). Coffee machine, daily housekeeping, and comfortable bed. Staff were pleasant, and the place has plenty of atmosphere - we had a really nice stay.

Beauty and Charm in the heart of the Quarter
Pros:

We are so grateful to be able to experience everything the Inn had to offer for our family from quiet atmosphere in the pool and courtyard and the comforts of home throughout the stay. It is such an amazing location on the quarter but still retaining a quieter side within the hotel to have the best of both worlds. Above all is the friendly staff that greets you with a smile and helpful hand every step of the way. Elysia and her staff are always there to help and chat making you feel at home! Thank you again
