Disliked: Staff & service
We were there early in the morning off of a cruise. Was told we would get a call as soon as a room in our category was available. Did not get a call. Showed up at 4:10 and of course keys were there so obviously there was a room available so where was our call? Hard to believe a room did not become available all day. Then elevator was broke. Knowing where our room was. Literally the furthest possible room away on the 4th floor away from the service elevator you would think we could have been offered help. Myself and my daughter had 2 large suitcases, plus backpacks, bags and more. The girl took us to the elevator and said our room is on the fourth floor. Then we got in went up and realized we had to go down several halls and up a flight of stairs with all of our stuff. We were more than frustrated at this point. I then called down to see if we could get help with our bags when we leave and of course the answer was no. No Bellman there at that time. Not that it mattered as no help was offered in the first place. Honestly not impressed. I had asked if something could be placed in the room as it was my daughters 30’th bday and we were in town celebrating it. Was disappointed to see absolutely nothing. Not even a note saying Happy Birthday. I had originally booked another hotel which was going to put a bottle of champagne in the room for free for her bday but I had cancelled it to book this one as the reviews were so great! Definitely a big regret. I could go on but have no room!!

Great hotel with New Orleans decor
Decided to stay two night in NOLA and we wanted a hotel walking distance to French Quarters. This beautiful decorated hotel was perfect. We were walking distance to stream boat, shops, walking tours, Orpheus theater, ect. The only down side from hotel is parking at $44. Plus tax per day and valet is slow. Hotel lobby staff are very accommodating with great restaurant recommendations, late check-out, and hotel provided coffee and tea every morning. Noise level wasn't always perfect, but decent considering its the French Quarters square. Also, the bathroom were a bit small, but expected for building age and location.

Not quite meeting our expectations
The best feature is the location, hallway between Jackson square and street. the staff was not as gracious and accommodating as we were hoping. I was disappointed by the limited bathroom amenities: shampoo, conditionner and soap was all that was available (no shower cap, no lotion, etc.) Also the bath towels had holes in them, the sheets were a bit rough dnd the bedroom carpet needed cleaning. The complimentary water was only there the first day, and the coffee (whether in the room or downstairs) had to be drunk in cardboard cups. Still the room was lovely, quiet, comfortable. The hotel is close to everything, including the streetcar that can take you almost anywhere. And no matter what New-Orleans never disappoints

Perfect location. Only reason for 4 star on condition was due to elevator being down. They did have us use the staff elevator.

Nice but needs some care.
Nice property, but deferred maintenance is obvious. The rooms seemed upgraded, but common areas need upgrading.

I would’ve rated it higher if the lock on our door worked. There was not a working lock, and the first person at the desk I spoke to said she would send maintenance to look at it. Maintenance never showed up, so we asked the new person at the desk, and she told us to barricade the door with a chair… my friend and I took shifts sleeping, but it was not a good experience. Beverly was very helpful and apologetic the next morning, but there hasn’t been a resolution.

The location was excellent, and the staff were so friendly. I slept on a sofa bed, which was fine. I appreciated having my own space, since it was 3 of us. The pool was not open - I don't think I would have used it, since it was cold outside.

Double Charge for Vehicle Parking
I have a double charge on my charge card for my vehicle parking for one night. I was told it would take a few days to correct this. My charge for the room went through the system within minutes and I am told it would take a few days to correct a charge.
