Staying at Hale’s was a pleasant experience. My son and I were primarily there so that I could help him getting settled in for school. There are primarily three good points that stands out with our stay: Hale provides you with a list of food places close by with descriptions for your convenience, there are parking spots in front of the building, and Hale is generally available should you need anything such as extra paper towels or even toilet paper. He even came out one night when the power went out to help check the circuit breakers. The place is close also by to the trolley that could take you close to Bourbon Street with a slight walk to the French Quarters. There’s also a grocery store about a few minutes walk that’s convenient if you want to cook and eat in. One point that needs improvement in is that the maid he hires needs to do a much better job cleaning the place. It’s a little dusty and a bit dirty but tolerable. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
