“Great location, modest hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

First off, the hotel was in a great location. It was within walking distance to the French Quarter, downtown, the waterfront, and the stadium. It is easy to find.
The hotel is in good condition, it was clean. The lobby was small, with a comfy salon off to the side.
The rooms were clean, spacious; we were a group of 4.All the other faced the street. I had a room with a frosted window that faced a wall. The washroom was clean and huge. The TV was hard to watch from one of the beds, and it is an old CRT.
The staff were friendly and attentive. Our luggage was left behind in Denver and the staff was on the look out for our luggage.
It is easy to get turned around in NO, and at night some areas near the hotel are a bit dodgy, but overall I felt safe.
The restaurant in the hotel had good food, and was remarkably cheap by my standards.

Overall I rate this hotel highly, I don't think I would call it a 4 star, but I would certainly stay there again

Thank you for your candid review. We are aware of some of the issues beneath the window in your room. The damage was caused by Hurricane Issac and we are remedying the situation. Also, our flat screen TV's have been ordered and we are hoping to have them installed in December. Thank you again and we look forward to hosting your next stay with us!
