This is a gem of a hotel just a couple of blocks from the French Quarter! This area (known as 'downtown' between the FQ and the Warehouse District (where the convention center is) is safe and quiet, and away from the madness that can sometimes engulf the quarter.
The hotel itself is warm and inviting. It's actually a collection of historic structures which have been converted in a hotel - so every room is a little different in it's architectural details. We had several calls from the front desk asking if everything was going well with our stay, and asking if we needed anything. There are fresh cookies for the taking at the front desk, 24/7 coffee and tea, the breakfast buffet has something for everyone with everything from eggs, to yogurt, fresh cut fruit, waffles, oatmeal etc etc. And the wireless Internet service is very good and we were on the 4th floor!!
To top it off, the price for a room here is more than reasonable! We had a one bedroom suite with a pull out couch for our daughter. The room had a microwave and a small fridge - which was perfect for storing leftovers! During the weekdays of our stay (which was early December) we paid under $100 a night.
If you don't know New Orleans, the location is perfect. The French Quarter is a 5 minute walk away. The casino and streetcars are also 5 minutes or so. And some of the best restaurants in NOLA are nearby or just a short walk! In fact, most tourist attractions are just a short walk away from this wonderful hotel!
We go to NOLA several times a year for business and family, and will not hesitate to stay here again!

Just got back from 2 nights in NO before a cruise. Hotel is in a great location - basically hang a left out of the hotel front door and voila! maybe 5-8 minutes later you're in the French Quarter. Easy and safe walk to Riverwalk and Casino as well. Concierge desk and staff was terrific, had great recommendations and info on what events were going on each day. In our case, there was a really fun Christmas parade that coincided with our stay that we would have missed if the desk hadn't brought it to our attention as we were heading out that morning. Also worth noting, Mother's Restaurant is right around the corner and hands down is the best bang for the buck for authentic NO food. Very basic but fun place with awesome Po Boys, Red Beans and Rice and Jambalaya to name a few. Definitely recommend for lunch in particular, lines go very fast, seating opens up quickly too.

We stayed in this hotel for two nights prior to going on a cruise. Our room had two beds in it and was very clean. The room looked as it did on their website. The room we had did not have a good view out of the window, we were on the 5th floor and looked out into an alley of another buliding.They have a small bar off the lobby, which worked out fine for a drink on the way to the room. We really didn't take advantage of the free breakfast other than coffee, juice and a bagle. There was a great breakfast place just across the street called the Ruby Slipper, very busy, but worth it. This hotel is a little odd in how it was built, kind of like a maze getting to certain floors from the elevator. Everyone at the hotel was nice and helpful. We did experience a issue with getting a wheelchair for the other couple we went with, as the chair broke as our friend frist sat in it, the hotel later tried to fix it, but then after a while, brought up a perfectly good one for use. The hotel fixed this issue very quickly. I would stay here again if I was to go to NOLA again.

Just returned from a 3 day trip. This is an amazing hotel you just have to experience. First of all, the front desk staff is the best I've ever encountered anywhere!!! They even greet you every day by your name. Incredible, when you realize how expansive this hotel is...very historic, built from 7 buildings dating from the 1860's, with high ceilings and windows. And the location can't be beat, just a block and 1/2 from Canal on Magazine St. Get you a one day or 3 day Jazzy Pass and you have unlimited street car and bus fare anywhere in the city... I will definately stay here my next visit. I picked this hotel because of all the previous high ratings, and I can say, they were spot on.
