Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the verandah overlooking the courtyard was stunning. The suite I stayed in was truly magnificent. The service was professional and the staff were wonderful, always there when needed but not intrusive. The location was perfect for exploring the city, close to everything in the French Quarter but away from the noise. The dining experience with Thai dishes was delicious. Overall, a great value for my money.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The shared balcony was great for relaxing after dinner and the courtyard where we had breakfast was peaceful. However, I missed out on enjoying the stunning verandah. The service was excellent, the location was perfect for exploring the French Quarter without all the noise, and the dining experience was complimentary but basic. The facilities were convenient but could use some improvement.
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.
I felt like I discovered a magical secret hideaway in the French Quarter at this hotel. The shared balcony was perfect for relaxing after dinner, and the baked-to-order buttermilk biscuits at breakfast were a delightful treat. The musty smell in the rooms bothered my sinuses a bit, but overall, it was a lovely stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were luxurious, and I adored the shared balcony for relaxing. The service provided by the staff, especially a wonderful lady, was top-notch. The location was perfect, close to all the action but still quiet at night. The courtyard dining experience and complimentary Welsh pastries were a delightful touch.
