The room was very dirty. There was toilet paper stuck to the wall hair in the floor. There was no sofa sleeper. There was yelling and door slamming all night.

Staff. Most are great. All it takes is one bad apple.
I chose this hotel for location and it didnt disapoint. Courteous staff, large well appointed room. Quaint hotel. I woukd have preferred a microwave in room, and the coffeemaker did not work properly...that was not too much of an issue as fresh coffee was provided from 7 through 10 every morning. I would def stay at this hotel on my next visit.
Clean hotel, lots of space for luggage, huge shower. Rebecca at the front desk was awesome!! She was so hospitable and kind. She also gave suggestions for some good fried chicken in the area! Will definitely be back to this hotel when I visit again!

Classic hotel. Not fancy but clean. Excellent location right down in the French Quarter. Two blocks from French Street.
And a 15 minute walk from Bourbon Street. 10 or 15 minute walk down on the Mississippi river it’s really awesome.
Great room and balconies. In the French Quarter and close to everything. Great parking and pool. Would love to stay there again. Thank you Michael Aucoin.
Staff members were very nice. Our suite was clean and minimally, but adequately, furnished. We appreciated the safe and refrigerator. We liked the balcony. It was over the parking lot but included a view of neighboring, historic buildings. Parking was expensive but secure with easy access.
The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel was clean and it was a perfect spot for walking distance.

Room was fabulous! My only suggestion is for installation of grab bars in the walk-in shower. Staff was very kind and helpful. I would stay there again.
Friendly and helpful staff. Great location at the quiet end of the French Quarter from which to explore the city. Comfy beds and good bath facilities. Would absolutely book again

The stay at this little hotel was just as lovely as ever. We try to get down hete every year and have always stayed here…silly but it now seems a bit like home…the staff are each as helpful as can be. No problems with our room at all…if I had a concern it would be that it got cold while we were there which was not expected and there was no blanket…but I’m more than certain it’s probably just seasonal But ho est our stay was lively, and we will see you next year and the temperature drop was
Staff was really nice, our flight got delayed and we landed around 12:30am. Room was cozy and nice and clean. We had a balcony view. Housekeeping lady was really nice when we asked for extra blankets. Walking distance from Bourbon Street.
It was great very quiet clean and I don’t usually sleep well in hotels but I slept wonderful here !
