I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a modern luxury bath and spa, which was a nice touch, but they were musty smelling, causing discomfort for my sinuses. The service, though really nice, had a few inconsistencies. The location was great, close enough to walk to most places in the French Quarter without being in the heart of the noise and chaos of Bourbon Street. The dining experience was special and traditional, but there were a few issues with it. The facilities were good, but I wished for more from them.
