Gated parking and contactless check-in/out was good. My door needed service, however, as it was difficult to lock and open. Also, my door was open when I checked in. Not sure if the staff had trouble with it like I did during my stay. Besides those easily fixable things, I liked this place and would use it again next time I'm in town.

We wanted to come to New Orleans with a budget but are definitely used to a certain quality of facilities and this was the perfect in between something fancy and something cheap. I very much love The artsy mural on the outside, it was very clean, the parking being a sign be a room was awesome, my only wish was that there was a microwave in the unit. If we come to New Orleans again we will definitely stay here

Great place. Well run. Clean. It’s on a busy street so you want to put some ear plugs in or play some white noise at night. Not a big deal. Outstanding hotel.

Well priced hospitality and comfort!

Needed a night before i left on a solo cruise. I got the email with gate code but no room code. The email did have code to the lock box with actual key attached to a retractable wire. A few hours later i went to meet an uber driver and when i came back i couldnt enter code into key box so i called and this wonderful woman (worker) came and rescued me within minutes. I.showed her my email with no room code and she promptly came back with the number. I had a very restful sleep, no noise complaints like others mentioned. The TV buffered once in awhile, but that was just on for background noise anyway! I wasnt leaving until1230pm and asked for late checkout and they replied within minutes obliging my request. I DID order a late NOLA breakfast to my room after 10am and my previous code stopped working which alleviated any concerns i had about any previous guests somehow bipassing the entry gate and coming in to join me. The wonderful same woman came and helped me out again within minutes so i could enjoy my Cajun hashbrowns while they were steaming hot. Bottled water and coffee maker with mini fridge in room. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay!!

Room was clean and a good place to stay for a week on a budget. The area around the room, not the best. That wasn’t a problem though, bunch of bars within driving distance and Ubers were relatively cheap to go drinking all over town.

A cute redone motel with nice beds and gated parking. But the room was tiny and the walls thin - I don’t know if I would stay again with a teen.

Watch your step

This motel was ok. It was a small room. Check your email because you check in with it and do not see anyone at all. The really bad part is that the metal steps have been painted with a thick coat of slippery paint. It rained while we were there and my wife and I both fell and hurt ourselves badly. They need to fix this.
