10/10 Excellent
"Charming design, friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous little courtyard and pool, impeccably clean simple room, super convenient location. You got the historic charm and New Orleans vibe, more b&b than hotel vibes, but the benefit of additional safety and in person assistance. Lovely and will return!"

"Great location. The staff were cordial, professional and pleasant. Able to check in 30 minutes early which went smoothly and quickly. The room was clean but the double beds were a little small for two adults but manageable. The elevator switch to get to floors 19 and 20 was a little annoying but manageable. Overall a great place to stay."
