I guess old is the new charm, but not for me.

I guess old is the new charm, but not for me.
When we immediately got into our room, it was dark, because the curtains were drawn shut and the light switch didn t work.
We had to fumble our way to find a light.
There was a smell, but I couldn t detect what it was. We got used to it.
Our view was pretty good even though our windows were very dirty and had black mold. But then again, we were on the third floor and it does rain a lot off and on in Nola. We let that slide.
Our room was very spacious, because we had a suite. And clean.
But very VERY noisy! Because of the location, they accommodated earplugs to help sleep at night. That was nice, but they didn t work for me.
We found the staff very friendly and efficient.
We had to call maintenance twice.
(1st for electrical and 2nd for plumbing - big issues in older buildings)

I think the thing that bugged me the most was they didn t have a refrigerator!
Yeah, Yeah, I know, you re probably thinking really?? But hear me out...!
It s hot, I like cold stuff to stay cold and I want my leftovers not to spoil, especially if I m gonna be here for a couple of days. Maybe it s because they can t handle that extra electricity with their electrical issues.
BUT WE HAD THE SUITE!
(You d think there d be some exceptions?!!)

Anyway, I m glad I had the experience, but I won t go back.
