James and his staff were very friendly right when we arrived. The room was clean and when our heater stopped working, we were able to quickly transfer to another room. The kitchen was great in the morning as eggs, pancakes, and sausage were available for us to cook as well as fresh coffee to brew.

When we got back to the hotel on Mardi Gras, James had bbq'ed some pork chops as well as red beans and rice for an amazing late night snack!

Being a mile from the French Quarter made it easy to get down to Bourbon & Canal as well as get over to Frenchmen for good music. This place is also really close to the Candlestick Lounge which had some of the best jazz of the whole trip.
