    Pros +

    • The location is very convenient. Walking distance from restaurants, cafes and French Quarter.
    • It was easy to access and in a historic section of New Orleans. There was so much to do in walking distance and we felt safe walking at night.
    • The pool and hot tub were amazing with a great outdoor vibe, our room was clean and ready early, and the whole place was just so cute. The location of this place was the best of all though! We barely used our car and were able to walk most places.

    Cons -

    • The AC in my room was leaking. It was a little frustrating that we had to figure out what to do about it. We ended up using the trash can and it filled with water many times.
    • We did not receive the codes to open the front gate and our room door. It took awhile to get in touch with someone to help us, but once we did they were very helpful.
    • The breakfast was eh, but they provide the essentials like coffee, tea, oatmeal, and some snacks.

    The experience of a haunted mansion was definitely something to write home about. Such a cozy vibe

    Was expecting a restful weekend. The free "upgrade" came at a cost. The stairs were so steep once I made it to the room I didn't want to come and go. Next time I'll keep the room by the pool. However, don't expect rest..ghosts keep u up at night.

    The hotel is full of New Orleans charm. The location is great. Check in and Check out was easy.

    Within walking distance of Jackson Square/French Quarter; had two nice little community markets about 2 blocks away and three great restaurants/pubs all less than 15 minute walk; Port Of Call, The Green Room, and Buffa's.

    Understandably it's an older home/mansion, but it needs TLC in lots of areas; especially when it comes to safety. A flimsy chain "lock" was the only way to secure the door from inside. There is only ON street parking, our car was broken into.

    Everything was what we expected. Such an interesting building and we appreciated the age of the home and it¿s ¿personality¿¿¿. Would definitely recommend to other folks who appreciate places like this¿¿

    Our walk to where we needed to be was about a mile away from the hotel and it was very manageable just wish it was a little closer in but not complaining.

    Location

    Hotel was run down, room needs updates and window views are disgusting. Bare bones provisions. LGBTQ adorned, so if that's not your thing avoid. NO PARKING! Although it is "free" to park on the street in competition with dozens of other mansions.

    Staff were extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful with mapping great spots to go.

    6JeremyPosted on: 9-8-2022

    Large room.

    $20 early check in fee 1hr before 3p.m. when the room was ready. I felt like they were trying to hustle an extra $20 from me. Also it would be nice to have towels replaced daily and not have to request them. The coffee needs a HUGE upgrade

    We love this place. Easy free parking. We love to party but this spot is a quiet oasis from all that business and you will want that. Has a POOL. Staff rules. Close to everything. What else do you need?

    History, ambiance.

    Sugar Bowl Suite temperature was unbearable.

    10StanleyPosted on: 5-17-2022

    Convenience to the French Quarter. Secure access throughout the properties. Very comfortable room and bed.

    I paid for a private parking space and was assigned space #1. Space #2 was occupied, and maneuvering in to space #1 was almost impossible.

    Close to French Quarter Quiet

    Parking is $20 per night but only 2 of 3 nights were available. I removed my car from parking and there were 2 spaces available plus my now vacant space. They charged my CC $20 after I left saying they couldn't sell the space. Refused to refund. BAD

    Wonderful location, had nice shared areas (courtyard, pool, etc), check in and getting around was very easy and straight-forward.

    It is in a very old building, and all things considered was updated very nicely. There were a few bugs, but honestly, it is New Orleans in the summer in an old house...nothing worse than expected.

    Family run inn. Great experience.
