Amazing location and surprisingly quiet allowing a great sleep despite all the music and noise from the street. Loved the decor in the foyer and the fragrance of the hotel (very pleasant to the senses). The Jazz Playhouse is fantastic!
Did not see any spa/services available which I would have so loved. Only wished the Jazz Playhouse would allow music to play a little longer (perhaps til 11pm) as it was such wonderful entertainment and ended a little too early.

All of the staff was really friendly and genuinely wanted our stay to be perfect. They sincerely seemed to enjoy their jobs, with one employee understandably proud of his 30 years of service. Interior courtyard and pool areas were very relaxing, successfully making you feel miles away from the excitement on Burboun St. The gym has everything needed. Short wait for valet. Food is excellent at Desire Oyster Bar with same friendly service as the hotel. Perfect and safe location within walking distance of most of our activities. We will be back.
There could be a few updates to the room and bathroom, but we still enjoyed our stay.

I loved the amenities. Beautiful lobby and amazing simple fitness center and clean hallways. Also, the desire restaurant was incredible. It was diner style but the food and serving sizes were excellent. the location is directly on bourbon street so I was in a great location to walk anywhere in the french quarter. I found myself walking everywhere simply because I could!
I didn’t have the warmest interaction with the staff. The hotel missed the luxe/relaxing note with the room I had— scuffs on all the furniture and huge hairballs clogging the tub. Also, the room was abnormally dark in some spots because of the window placement but who can help that? The hotel staff did address the hairballs promptly so i’m so thankful for maintenance in that regard.

Location even though in the center of the French Quarter, was a relaxing oasis!
Quiet but central to the action! The pool was great!

beds where comfortable
telephone didn't work, my room was not set up so I could rent movies although you had my cc from check in - never had coffee cups, cream/sugar, never cleaned up the balcony from the neighbours that left - for 3 days old towels and ashtrays overflowing. Then I come back one night both keys don't work. TV cable would go out often. the front desk lady comes to help me with food in her mouth???

The location was perfect. Right off Burbon Street.
This was our anniversary vacation. Such a crappy stay at this hotel. Sort of a mini honeymoon. Which the front desk knew that was the reason for our trip. The ceiling in our bathroom had a massive leak overnight. We woke up to a flooded bathroom counter and floor. Which got all over our toothbrushes, ruined a $50 flat iron and $50 curling iron, and some toiletries that we brought. The staff was not sympathetic, showed no concern to move us to another room. The front desk seemed put out by the issue. My main problem is that they did not reimburse us for the damages to our items. (They said they would) I want to know why we were not paid for our items when it is clearly the hotel's fault.

The convenience of where it’s located.
The water drained slowly out of the tub while showering, the water didn’t get very hot and my cable connection cord was broken.
9.0
Central location, mostly quiet rooms. Security at night only lets in guests despite all the craziness going on outside.
There was a street drummer outside the window for a bit, that was annoying
9.0
The location was just the best. New Orleans is a extremely beautiful place. Hotel is amazingly beautiful and big. Although is located in the center of the noisy Bourbon street, when you enter the rooms you hear no noise at all.
Everything was perfect. It would be nice if breakfast could be included in the booking of the room.
7.0
The location (and balcony room) gave us an up close experience of the culture of Bourbon Street.
We were shocked to find a cockroach in our room! When informing the front desk, they laughed at us and asked why we didn’t just kill it… They did offer us a room change, but with no apologies. This kind of ruined our stay, and memory of the hotel. In my opinion, this is totally unacceptable for what is expected to be a high-end hotel - especially considering the price we spent on a three night stay.

room was clean and ready on our arrival. In-room refrigerator.
Bathroom too small and outdated. No USB plugs for charging. Noise of guests from other rooms at 2:00 am. No courtesy bottles of water on check-in. Rowdy guests.

Very bad experience with this hotel. they took an extra usd100 from me (usd50 deposit per night) and never refunded me. I spent lots of time calling and emailing but they refused to acknowledge my refund even after sending proof from my HSBC bank of the amount being deducted and never refunded. I would not recommend staying here. Lots of other better options in Bourbon street.

Location is perfect for those who want to explore the French Quarter. The hotel is located on Bourbon street - the heart of the area, but in our room there was no slightest sign of noise from the outside. It is also located literally steps away from the most of good restaurants and caffees and Jackson Square and ferry.
Staff is very friendly.
Pool is amazing in warm days.

Location was amazing, right on Bourbon St and close to everything we wanted to do. Our stay was unfortunately short due to having to move on to our next stop. Staff was very friendly and helpful (even with our very late arrival the first night). Parking was very secure via an underground parking garage.
We could hear our neighbor having a coughing fit one morning but that’s not the hotel’s fault. It’s an older property and to be expected. PJ’s Coffee in the lobby was out of quite a few items when we tried to order. We wish the pool bar opened earlier and closed later.

I loved having a balcony on a side street. the noise level from the street wasn’t that bad. the bed was comfortable and the room was well furnished
my only complaint was the bathtub/ shower. it needs to be replaced. I looked dirty because it’s so old.
