It was close enough to the Quarter to walk.
Run down. Tiny rooms with rickety beds no frills at all Premium cost.

The front of the building.
I liked the front of the house. Hall had l cluttered with building material. And needs major maintenance. Cock roach in my room.

Good location
I was overcharged a security deposit which they refused to refund. They said they do not refund credit card fees. They lied to booking.com saying I did not have cash to pay when I did. I had to file a complaint with my credit card company to get the money back. I also left my phone charger in my room which they lied and said they didn’t find.

I didn't. Neither did my sister or my 2 year old nephew who were told they couldn't have the room although yall charged my credit card regardless. I Iwill be filing against you and demanding a refund. I stated I was booking for someone else as I live in Missouri but yall want me to come show you my I'd instead of her bf who I booked the hotel under his name. Yall are a scam and I will sharing everyone I know why not to use you.

I love the location. 10 minute walk to everything your looking for in New Orleans. Convenient for parking your car. I probably would have spent the same amount I did on the room trying to park in the French quarter.
the room smell like death, the bedding is horrible, I wouldn’t let my dog cover up with it.

mold in the bathroom. Broken door lock. cracked broken tiles and no ventilation. Blood stains on the sheets, list goes on. I felt like I was at some kind of hostel, even a homeless shelter is nicer and better kept then this rundown place. I don’t know how it’s still even open.

The evening/night shift front desk employee was the friendliest, kindest, most patient, and respectful hotel staff we’ve ever had. The hotel is in close walking distance to many attractions and has the comfort of home. The reservationist was equally kind and helpful in the booking experience. Thank you for such an amazing stay!
There is nothing that we did not like.

It's Old. Raw and not cool. But again: it's exactly what you have paid for!
The reception staff were great . THe bed comfortable.
Not that clean. But again: it's exactly what you have paid for!

Location was ok
There’s rats! Holes all over, people were walking in and out without key. Room looked gross, bed was disgusting and had stains holes In The mattress. Didn’t look clean in any type of way I wouldn’t recommend at all…. Stay away! Not worth it.

The location is the only positive I can write about this place.
This place is unfit to offer hotel stays. It is run down completely. The rooms are in disarray. I checked the mattress because the white sheets were stained and under the mattress was mildew/mold growing. Also, on two separate occasions, two different hotel clerks came to the room asking about payment saying that we only paid for one night of our two-night stay. We had to show them the receipts each time.
2.0
The man at the front desk was very professional and kind.
Drug addict attempted to solicit me, waved money and told me to "come here", literally as soon as I walked in the door. Roaches everywhere. Dilapidated rooms. Plastic on mattress. The cheapest, thinnest blanket on the bed and it had yellow stains and stitching falling apart. There was red splatter on the ceiling. The smoke alarm went off because I took a hot shower. Everything in the room looked like it was purchased at the dollar tree. I only stayed for one night, because I already paid for it. On the positive side, the place was quiet and the employees are great. Very polite, friendly and professional.

The a/c worked
A terrible room that has poorly done patches on top of patches. Three colors of peeling paint just in the tub. Leaning sink, and holes in the floor. And an awful mattress
4.0
I did not have any breakfast, the location was wonderfully.
The rooms need to be up grated, the mattresses was full of old urine stains that was covered with plastic and a mattress cover. The wall had a large crack in it and there were water stains in the ceiling.

Very close to the area I wanted to stay in. Friendly staff
I wish not to speak I'll of establishment however, this is a place I would reserve for people who I am not too fond of.

Location is fine
Being charged for a person that was already on the reservation, toilet wiggles, and the office wants you to leave your room key at the house every time you leave to go sightseeing or eat.
