Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautiful and clean, but a bit small and cramped, similar to other Best Western hotels I have stayed in before. The service was friendly, with some staff members going above and beyond to assist, especially the morning breakfast staff. The location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk to the French Quarter, making it convenient for exploring. The dining options were amazing for a hotel, with a very satisfactory breakfast. The facilities were well-maintained, and the price was fair for the value received.
The hotel offers individual climate control in the rooms, making the stay comfortable, but ongoing construction can be noisy. The service is exceptional, with professional and courteous staff. The dining experience is average, with a strong cigarette smell noted in one room. Overall, a decent option with some drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet, but the service had its ups and downs. The location was great for exploring nearby attractions but had some drawbacks. The dining options were satisfying, and the facilities added value to the stay.
