Pros:

The staff was so nice and helpful. Jock(i believe his name was) suggested a lot of really great restaurants or things to do in the area. He always brought us pool towels too. This place is so close to the French quarter and Frenchman street and Decatur street and the Canal line street car. It was easy to find things to do and to get there. Also we were only a couple blocks fro. Bourbon street
. The courtyard is just breathtaking too. We often had the pool area to ourselves

Pros:

Location! Pool!

Cons:

Noise made by Loud pool users and guest going up the stairwell echoes to the top and it sounds like they are right outside your room.

Street noise can't be helped but it gets very loud at times.

Pros:

Amanda is a great property manager. The room was comfortable and clean with fun and interesting decor (it felt very “French Quarter”). Great area - easy to walk to Marigny and the French Quarter.

I have no major complaints except for being overcharged.
Cons:

After paying for my room in full on Booking.com the charged me again in the amount of $250 and they didn't respond when I sent an email questioning this. They are hard to reach on the phone.

Idéalement placé mais ne pas s'attendre à un confort exemplaire
Pros:

L'emplacement était idéal afin de rejoindre le quartier français à pied mais aussi la frenchmen street. La climatisation fonctionnait parfaitement ce qui a été absolument nécessaire avec la chaleur.

Cons:

Il y a eu une fuite d'eau de l'étage supérieur dans la salle de bain. J'ai dû changer de chambre et l'équipe ne m'a pas proposé la moindre compensation. Le linge de lit sentait très fort l'humidité. Le bruit de la cour intérieure (s'il y a d'autres clients qui parlent par exemple) s'entend dans les chambres quasiment sans filtre car il n'y a pas d'insonorisation. Et le parking à 25$ par jour est un terrain vague à ouvrir avec un cadenas (pas très pratique). Pour ce prix là, on aurait pu espérer mieux.

ÉTABLISSEMENT À ÉVITER
Pros:

The localisation

Cons:

Le personnel est malhonnête et jamais présent. Check in et Check out très très compliqué (dispo de 16h a 17h pour le Check in uniquement et nous les avons pas vu pour le Check out). Ils fournissent les mauvais codes d’accès au bâtiment.
Bref rien ne va..

Le logement n’était pas propre a notre arrivé . De plus, nous sommes resté 4 jours dans l’appartement et ils n’ont jamais passé l’aspirateur ou vidé la poubelle.
Les fenêtres du salon et de la chambre ne ferment pas, nous avions donc le bruit de la rue et nous climatisions l’extérieur.
Le sol n’est pas droit et le parquet s’arrache par endroit tellement le bâtiment à travailler. La balcon quand à lui est très dangereux et a des risques de s’effondrer.

Bref logement à fuir !

In the perfect location with the best rooms!
Pros:

I booked the largest room for 3 people to celebrate my birthday in NOLA and it was perfect! There’s tons of room! The bedrooms were nice and the bathrooms while small, are perfectly decorated.

There’s a fully stocked kitchen that was perfect for our needs. We loved and enjoyed be able to sit out on the balcony and people watch for a little.

We loved the pool. My sister had fun with other guests at the pool and the day before I got to enjoy some solo time there.

The hotel is literally located in the middle of everything! It’s possibly the most accessible and perfect location.

I felt like the stay was worth every penny although it was a tiny bit more expensive than some of the other places we looked. It had everything we wanted. Customer service was on point and attended our needs in a timely manner.

Cons:

The cons are few and far between. We did notice that the main bedroom bed felt a little high. It might provide a challenge for people with mobility issues. One thing my sister and I were wishing was that the room had a full length mirror. We ended up using the mirrors at the bottom of the hotel stairs to make sure our outfits didn’t look crazy. The last one is a big one, we had a room that had a loft bedroom and a main bedroom and the main bedroom is right by the stairs. Sadly, it is not soundproof so when guests came in for the Red Dress Run, we found that the stairs can get very loud. We can literally hear everyone talking in the stairwell - waking each other up in their different rooms to get ready to do the run at 6 and 7am. My sister said that sleeping in the loft was the way to go because she couldn’t hear anything.
