It may have been that we didn't realize just how intense the heart of New Orleans is, but the location felt extremely sketchy. They expect you to park several blocks down the road after unloading and walk back to your stay. When speaking to the gal at the front desk I asked if the parking was locked up and she said yes. It was not locked up, and I did not feel safe leaving my vehicle there. If you are looking for stay in downtown the location is great, it just wasn't for us. There is a walkway leading to the hotel rooms from outside and it looks as if homeless people have been able to get it and spray paint and leave their trash. Outside is a big spray painted wall with loud cars driving by blasting music and a large homeless population. Not suggested for a stay unless you have someone to make you feel safe, and you're looking for a very much so night life experience. Sunglasses were stolen off my head on the way in to the hotel.
