    Nice staff. Clean room. Comfortable bed

    It is what it is

    Another important issue is the parking. The description states that the hotel has parking, but in reality, there is no parking available and guests have to leave their cars parked on the street. In addition, when I arrived at the hotel, I had to wait to be assisted because the receptionist had gone to the grocery store. This made the arrival even more inconvenient after traveling. Unfortunately, the overall experience was well below what I expected based on the hotel’s description.

    I checked out at 7am and was no one in the office had to put the keys in the mailbox

    Parking on the street but we got lucky! It's an old house but very quaint and excellent for our traveling family group! Lots of beds and space. However my credit card was charged even tho I had a zero balance. Reception could not see the charge but my bank did!! However my deposit came back the next day as promised so that was good.

    nice

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The place should be condemned . They had a stand up air conditioning unit on cider blocks duct taped to an outside vent . The sheets looked to be 25 years old , dingy and yellow . The bathroom smelled as though someone had thrown up in it . No tv remote , room smelled horrific , dirty floor , all in all the worst stay of my entire traveling experiencing . Would not recommend to a homeless person !!

    This place is very bare bones, but it certainly gets the job done. There were adequate security measures in place, and it is situated in a lively but safe neighborhood. If I needed somewhere to sleep in a pinch, I would do it again without much hesitation.

    Good location

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    nice clean friendly quiet and around food.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The location is actually wonderful. Right outside of the french quarter and the neighborhood felt completely safe late into the night. Me and two girlfriends walked our entire trip, to and from the hotel. Loved it! Keep in mind this is a historical hotel and the A/C is going to be more normal room temp or like 75F, not a modern 68F haha! Still super comfortable and we were happy with everything.

    Great property. Wish it had a pool!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The toilet paper was so thin and cheap, it ripped apart when using the restroom

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Main issue was check in was not done properly and when we returned from lunch on day 3/4 there was a lock box on our room door. We went to the front desk and they claimed we had no show’d our first night and had cancelled our reservation. We were interrogated about this until the employee who check us in verified he had not done that properly. Further they turned on the master AC for our room during this and we did not notice until late in the evening and was unable to fix this - the room was about 78 when we woke up.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Updated needed in room. Some guest questionable. Not noisy.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was dirty and stained sheets in bad part of Neighborhood and had roaches crawling everywhere. The pictures are not how it really is. Would definitely not recommend to anyone.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff was great and parking was easy

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I arrived at the facility few minutes after 11:00pm on May 27 2026. Surprisingly there’s no one in the office. No one answered my phone call. So no one check me in and give me the key. Upon complained to Expedia, the agent of Expedia claimed that the facility had email me the late check in details, claiming that the key was placed in the key box and left me a code to open the box. But I checked all my emails and found there was no notifications been sent to me. If there’s a software glitch in the platform/portal, then I shall not be responsible for the miscommunication between this hotel and Expedia, and I shall be refunded for a night that I didn’t used. Please kindly refund me the night for May 27 2026. Thank you.
