I stayed here mid-May for a long birthday celebration. The hotel is located on Bourbon street and Canal...which ended up being a perfect location for my stay. We were able to walk right out of the hotel onto Bourbon street, and start exploring the French Quarter. It is also located right across from a Trolley stop, which was nice when we wanted to travel to the Garden District. There is also a CVS located right next to the hotel, which was helpful as we forgot to pack a few items.

The walls did seem a little thin in the hotel, as we could here the bachelor parties happening in the rooms next to us. We were usually exhausted after a day of running around the city, so the noise didn't bother us too much. Just something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. The hotel does provide earplugs though!

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived to check in, but they have a staff member who will take your items and store them in a room until you can officially check in.

The pool itself is not very large, but it was good for what we needed. It's not big enough for actual swimming, especially if there are tons of people there....just something to think about if you bring children with you, or if you are expecting to swim laps. It was nice to look over Bourbon street and hear the street musicians playing while relaxing by the pool though. And keeping with New Orleans style...you can have a drink at the pool as long as it's not in glass.

Tip: We called the hotel to book our room, and were able to get a lower rate than their website and travel websites. Very helpful and nice customer service agent who worked with us. Plus we were able to put in a request for a room that was NOT on Bourbon, and was located higher up in the hotel.

I'd stay here again.
