Everything about the hotel was great. The staff was wonderful and offered suggestions on historical buildings. The hotel was in a great location. It's just 2-3 blocks from the Third Ward where there is lots of shopping and restaurants including the public market. Fun area!!!

Pros: nice hotel, very clean. Breakfast smelled good and there was always coffee. We stayed for a concert so it was basically a bed to sleep in before we drove home. Cons: they told me the hold was going to be $50 and the charge should fall off in a few days, it's been a week and it was $60. Parking is goofy and it was a cluster trying to find parking for a large truck. Maybe I'm wrong but every other hotel stay, my parking was free when I stayed at the hotel. The $80 ($60 I probably won't get back and the $20 for overnight, unsecured parking) killed the spark here.

The Hotel is just two or three blocks from the Third Ward and the Public Market. The staff is super. Everyone greets you with a smile. Thr hotel was clean, the breakfast was great and the location is close to everything. A special shout out to Rebecca who provided us with a wealth of information and made recommendations around the hotel, including shopping, restaurants and historial sites. We would definitely stay here again.
