I was very happy with my stay at this hotel. The room was large and clean, with very comfortable beds. No plasma TV which was a bit weird for this hotel, but it didn't matter, as I never watch TV when I travel.

The only really negative thing I can say about the room (and the reason for not rating this as "Excellent") was that the bathroom floor felt sticky, I would guess from a previous guest using too much hair spray. And obviously the floor hasn't been quite properly cleaned before we checked in.

Other than that, I have only great things to say about the receptionists and the rest of the staff. They couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. They provided a large deal of information concerning local attractions, restaurants, directions, and so on. We asked for late check-out and were giving it without a fuss.

One of the best things about this hotel is the location: only two blocks away from Bourbon St. and probably 10 minutes walking from Jackson Sq., this hotel is truly in the middle of all happening, but still "far" enough to avoid all the night life noise. If you don't plan in driving out of the city, I would suggest not to rent a car. We had one and never used it, since we were so close to the best places in town. If you decide for a car, the hotel has an outdoors parking, which at $15/day is much cheaper than most of the parking lots in this area.

Finally the room comes with free Internet access, but don't forget to bring your laptop. Unfortunately, I did forget, and it cost me $5.95/15 min. (!!) to check my e-mail.

Overall, a great experience and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I stayed here on business at the end of April 2008. Overall, found this to be a very nice hotel with a great, comfy bed and nice linens. Spacious room with a decent sized bathroom.

One problem, one night I called the front desk for a bathroom item I'd forgotten to pack. They assured me someone would be up shortly with the item. An hour went by and no one came. I called the front desk and was told the person was "on their way." Waited another 20 min (at this point it was 1am) and still no one came. Finally I called the desk for a third time, asked if I could go down to the desk myself and was told no, the only extra item was with the staff member for delivery. I asked them to please cancel for the night as I had to go to sleep. I did manage to get the item in the morning but lost 1 1/2 hrs of sleep waiting for the nighttime delivery that never came.

Also, one day no one ever came to clean the room. I am not picky about needing my bed done up by a maid every day so I didn't care too much, but found it odd that the room was forgotten about. The first time I have ever experienced that in all my hotel stays.

Other than those 2 small incidents I found the room to be quiet and comfortable.

Received this hotel thru Priceline Bid for $55 for a Saturday Night. Wonderful hotel! Everything was wonderful and the St. Charles trolly stop is 1 block to the left or 1 block to the right. We did not have to use our car for the weekend. We also asked where to buy the Times Picayune and they gave us one both days.

This was a nice hotel. We had stayed in one in San Fran and so we had something to compare it too. The rooms were very clean and very large for New Orleans.

The lobby area was very nice. The pool was very small and not really much fun on a hot afternoon.

We were very impressed with the staff and everyone there.
