Castay Shopping Center

Regarding the staff, it depended on who was at the front desk. We had a few great ones and then we had to sever terrible ones. The property was not well maintained. It was in a very bad side of town. I felt like I was duped from their ratings and from the hotel.com ratings. They had no refrigerator or microwave in any of the rooms. They also had no ice machines. So you would have to go downstairs to the front desk and ask them if they could fill up an ice bucket or a cooler. The pool was very small and dirty. I wouldn’t stick my toes in it let alone swim. The only thing positive I would say about the Dew Drop Inn was the room was clean, but they never came back to clean it any other day except the day that you checked in.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Location is great with quick and easy walking through the French Quarter, to the river, or to 2 different streetcar lines. Being close to Bourbon St was fun but also not a problem. The pool was great. The credit/coupons were ok. I'd still shop around but we did use some. Staff was quick when we needed a light bulb changed and always friendly and helpful. I LOVED the water bottle station. It was so hot when we were there. We liked saying hi to turtles and the courtyard spaces were cute. Everything was clean and AC worked well. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of towel racks in the room.
