“ Just stayed here for Mardi Gras. Pretty fun place. Great proximity to Bourbon for the tourists (20 min walk), and the Bacchus parade (10 min walk). If it's going to be cold, I would bring some extra blankets. Definitely bring towels. Great value if you're looking for a cheaper place to stay. ”

“ It was a good place to say as long as you don't mind old buildings with bad lighting.

The staff was super helpful and gave us great... more ”
