Parking was pricey but very convenient across the street from the hotel. This lovely hotel right off Decatur St. in the French Quarter has a welcoming entry space and a great staff that makes check-in easy. We stayed 4 days in New Orleans and this is a great location for lots of New Orleans attractions. Walk to Cafe du Monde, take carriage rides, paddle wheel cruises on the Mississippi, walk to top restaurants, WWII museum. The rooms are not large but are beautifully furnished. Small pool in a beautiful courtyard. Very peaceful.

Jazz Fest Weekend Trip

Check in was easy and since we were early they held our bags until our room was ready at which time they called us. Room was as advertised. If there is any downside, it was a bit noisy but that is to be expected in the French Quarter. Would definitely stay here again.
