Let me start by saying I am writing this because I am the person who scours reviews to find the perfect hotel. I'm doing this for us! *smile*

Pros:
I was able to check in early which was great. My first room was located behind the elevator AND there was a massive air conditioning vent outside my window. I requested to change rooms and it was done without a problem. The staff is great! During my stay I locked myself out of the room and the ladies at the front desk were pleasant about getting a new card for me. I also had a late flight back home and the bellman was pleasant about storing my bag after my checkout. The hotel is located on Bourbon street so it is definitely right at the noise, and though I was on the 11th floor, I could still hear when the band cranked up. However, I was not there during a peak holiday so the noise died down during normal sleeping hours. The beds were really comfortable!
The breakfast was delicious, though I'd like to have something different at least every other day. With that being said, the Cajun grits are delicious!
It is convenient to the streetcar, and though they don't have a live band, they're plenty places that do in walking distance (two minutes walking).

Cons:
I did notice some residue under the desk and quite a few spills on the carpet and along the wall in my room. My blankets did have some faint stains, but nothing that hinted toward them being unwashed. There were small bugs in the bathtub that kept returning each night. I asked housekeeping about bug spray, but they just wiped them away...and they returned the next day.

Overall, it's not a horrible place to stay, but there are a few things they could do concerning housekeeping that would make the location even better.
