This building was built in the 1890s with much of the feel of that era. The St. Charles Streetcar stops in front of the Inn and was the primary way we got around. Fabulous location to explore New Orleans from.

We love the location and it feels safe. The room at the front was very noisy however, hall/entrance as well as street noise and the room above. Would definitely stay again, just not in the front hall rooms.

Charming Hotel in Perfect Location

I've stayed here several times and would definitely recommend it. The location is central to most of the city's best neighborhoods, so it's easy to get uptown, to Magazine Street, Audubon Park, River Bend, or over to the quarter, Marigny, or Bywater. The Street Car has a stop right in front of the hotel will take you to Canal or all the way past River Bend and you can connect to other lines at both. Uber/Lyft was generally $10 or less to any of these places, as well. Rooms are cozy, there's a nice courtyard and balcony you can access and good fresh coffee each morning.

Rented two rooms - ‘deluxe queen’ and ‘premium king’. This isn’t a hotel it’s rooms with digital entries that we found unreliable. (They ended up giving us a physical key because the digital look/code didn’t work.) Deluxe room was 10% more $ but louder, smaller, and had a toilet that wasn’t properly attached to the floor and rocked. They moved us to a king with the door right on St Charles. Room itself much better but on the other side of the wall from the head of the bead was a metal gate that slammed shut at all hours, shaking the entire wall. The coffee was an empty commercial pot in the storage room with instructions on how to diy.

Convenient location about 1.5 miles or less from the french quarter. Easy check in/check out. Free coffee. Only real complaint we had was the bed and pillows were really firm and not comfortable. Good location near plenty of food and is convenient to the street car and RTA buses
