AlannaMarch 2, 2014Very cute and vintage hotel and on the edge of the French quarter. Has great restaurants and bars. Also the parade route comes through here.
Kember GrecoNovember 8, 2013Loved this place! If your not high maintenance, and can deal with vintage this is your place. It's built in an old coffee warehouse, so you will see pipes but it creates a 1940's industrial feel!
Great hotel, staff, price and location. This hotel has great personality and is very close casino, French quarter and all of the new dining locations (I highly recommend Root) in the warehouse distr.
Dawn WatsonSeptember 14, 2013The place has character, the staff has been pleasant, we arrived as a group they got us close together, like that you can walk everywhere...this building is from the 1800 so this make for character..
ArielNovember 16, 2013No problems on our stay. Friend staff, good food. The rooms have a very vintage/lofty feel and ours is huge. Enjoyed the stay and the character of the hotel!
Lavonne WontorekMay 6, 2012We had a great experience. Big large room and very clean. Staff went our of their way for us. So convenient to walk any where. Good fee breakfast.
Kirk PerezJuly 26, 2013Wow! People hating hard on what was a clean/awesome experience. Probably the same folks that complain about bourbon street being too hot/smelly/not fun. Have fun. Lighten up :)
Salvador VilleriasApril 15, 2013Also they pick up the "food" no matter what. If u come seiving they can parl yr car dor 32 usd a day and valer wont help with luggage so i am not leaving any tips to them or any other
Erica WJune 29, 2011Good location, decent pricing. Maid service is not the best, but all staff are very friendly. No window in my room! They charged me for parking without asking if I drove. Continental breakfast daily.
Great location and great rates. Car damage by valet though - not cool and fixing it makes the hotel rates not so great any more. Will update what the hotel does about the damage.
Seth G.December 29, 2013If you're looking for a hotel room that is impossible to sleep bc you can hear the noisy family next door through the thin walls, lumpy pillows and beds, and lukewarm showers, you'll love this hotel.
Crystal KellerAugust 16, 2014Cute hotel although messy w/ renovations right now. They're having serious staff efficiency issues. Yesterday it took 20 minutes to check us in and today their 'system is down' for checkout. Too slow.
Not the best hotel I've stayed in but you get what you pay for. Rooms were clean and the location is killer. It's a good deal.
Shanta KingJuly 7, 2012We've been here all of 30 min and so far so good....its 5 of us and im pleased.
Ed HollmanJuly 2, 2012Nice room but AC was broken. Hot about 85 degrees all night, hard to sleep at that temp. Got 50% off. Next time doing a chain hotel.- Salvador VilleriasApril 15, 2013Is a "boutique hotel" but I did not know that means old and noisy beds. Bkfs is sharp finishing at 0930 and they dont care if people still eating. They just lock the doors so nobody can enter
- Shanta KingJuly 8, 2012Correction: they never have any clean laundry done....towels, wash clothes, etc #essencefest seriously...
Juan JimenezMay 6, 2013This place looks cool on the outside but the rooms are below average, the concierge is highly unprofessional, and the bathroom looked like a men's room at a sports stadium. Avoid this overpriced dump!
Chelsea RuthDecember 2, 2011Not a terrible place, but definitely not a Hilton if that's what you're expecting! Good place to go if you want some character in your trip and not just some cookie cutter hotel.
evetta greenJanuary 12, 2012Came with my business partners who are staying here and it SUCKS! Comforters are dirty with hair and stains. I would never stay here, NEEEEVER!!!
Jefferson FurtadoDecember 30, 2011The website makes the place look much better than it really is. Will not be staying here again.
It takes 30 minutes to check in, some rooms have no windows, and they try to impose a mandatory breakfast and wifi fee. STAY AWAY!
Will BurgersJanuary 1, 2012Service is fucking Terrible. If there's 2 or 3 people in front of you in the check-in be prepared to wait for a fucking hour while these retards tap away at their broken computers.
Alex LeproNovember 8, 2013Unbelievably slow front desk. I've literally been standing here waiting to check in for the past 25 minutes. Ridiculous.
Don't stay here if you have to! The pictures on the website don't show you what the other rooms look like!
Saranee BellNovember 19, 2011This place sucks. They charge our card before you check in . And we found dirty clothes in closet. It smells dirty, the maid service is horrible, and the people aren't friendly.
TK Lewis, Sr.February 16, 2013Don't even bother with this hotel. Unless all you need is a place to shower, stay away from this dump.
- Terrible. We left and walked to Ren. Arts hotel very nice and stayed there. Dank, dirty and dark rooms.
Bradley DeanNovember 6, 2011Stay some where else. I would not recommend this hotel. Dirty and smells like smoke.
