This hotel is all about location. walking distance to everything you want to experience about French Quarter.--- Fresh Market, Frenchmen Street (which I loved- music, dancing, great restaurants). Bourbon Street (not so much- unless you're one of the young, obnoxious drunks), I would say this hotel would be a gem if the rooms were updated. a little paint and caulk would go a long way. The bed was uncomfortable and the sheets had stains and holes. The tub and shower curtain had mildew, otjherwise clean. I didn't complain since the staff was nice and I was only there for two nights. I chose this hotel because of the location, price compared to other boutique hotels in the area and the nostalgia of it. However, if I had known the condition, I would have paid more to be completely satisfied. The bakery across the street was divine. I always look at reviews but have never actually done one. Hope this helps!
