I found parking on site very convenient. The staff provided assistance for any request! the room was beautiful and clean. the pool was quite amazing. i liked the secured parking offered.
The minibar was noisy. It was impossible to sleep with it on. the walls felt thin, so the noise from other guests was disruptive.

The hotel provides access to tourist spots. It sits outside the busiest part of the french quarter. restaurants and jazz bars are near the hotel. Art galleries are present as well, allowing cultural immersion.
Dining

There is no food service available. Even breakfast is unavailable. there is no coffee. no self-service machines for cold beverages exist. this means that all food and drink need to be acquired off-site.
