Although I rated this as a 3 because it is a bit dated, I have to say the location is a 5! It is one street down from Bourbon Street, so far enough away from the crowds and noise, but close enough to walk to in a couple of minutes. The rooms are clean, non-smoking is offered and the staff was courteous, friendly and attentive. The lobby was decorated for Mardi Gras and it looked beautiful. The front desk and concierge helped us to have a wonderful weekend stay in New Orleans.

Sayed at this place in December and really enjoyed it. The location could not be better for the French Quarter. One block from Bourbon, which is perfect because staying on Bourbon could be a bit intense. The staff was nice and very knowledgeable. I would certainly stay again.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel from Jan 9-11, 2013
Great location, quiet street, and a few blocks from the action
The staff was friendly, professional and helpful
The room was clean, quiet and the bed comfy
The only weird thing is the pillows, which are tucked in half.
I would stay here again

This was a nice hotel. The room was spacious and the bedding nice and clean. The pool area is really well maintained and the water nice and warm.
What else can I say about it?
Oh. Yeah. Well, the walls are a bit thin--you can hear every conversation in your neighbor's room--and not just the loud drunken ones, the innocuous, quiet, hungover ones as well. (The outside noise isnt a problem--youre not on Bourbon st and the windows seem well insulated.) Also, the pillows are small.
And what's the deal with not allowing me to refuse maid service? During weekdays your doorknob sign only gives you the option to put off housekeeping until 2pm. This is New Orleans--probably the most drinking-centric city I've been in, in the US--if I don't want to leave the room until 5 I think that's my prerogative, right? Only on weekends do the maids switch out the doorknob signs for the more general "do not disturb" (with no caveats). My friends and I guessed this was because maybe the weekends are busier and if the maids don't have to get to every room they can finish up quicker.
In general, this was a decent hotel--you could do a lot worse in NO.
