Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is located in a superb spot near the party of Frenchmen Street and French Quarter, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are secure, offering privacy with pleasant wooden floors and furnishings, although some may find them just fine. The service is notably friendly and helpful, adding to the enjoyable stay. Overall, the value for money is commendable, especially considering the fantastic location and welcoming staff.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, even though my room was near the main kitchen. The service was friendly and helpful. The location offered a mix of local charm and proximity to popular areas, though a bit of a walk from Bourbon Street. The dining options were basic but complimentary. Overall, a good value for money stay.
The hotel is wonderfully located close to Frenchmen Street and the French Quarter, offering a quiet retreat. The rooms, while not huge, are cozy, though some noise from the bar area may be heard. The service is top-notch, with very helpful and friendly staff, even accommodating a late plumbing issue. The dining options are satisfactory, offering a complimentary drink but lacking breakfast variety. Despite minor concerns about room security, the location is safe and charming, near to popular areas, with ongoing revitalization efforts. Worth noting is the lack of included breakfast and concern about room door codes.
I had a great time staying at the hotel with family and friends. The rooms were nicely decorated with all the essentials, but some items were missing for the pullout couch. The service was friendly and helpful, especially at The Balcony/Schiro's. The location in the beautiful Marigny neighborhood was enjoyable and close to all the action, while still offering a relaxing vibe. The dining experience was convenient, although basic. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room amenities to consider.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were clean, quiet, and very comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the French Quarter, offering the best of New Orleans within reach. The service was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome and at ease. Although the dining experience was good, it could have been a bit quicker. Overall, a great value for the money with superb breakfast options and a personal touch from the owner/manager.
