When you book this room you can expect to get an aged antiquity mansion. That includes 19th century creaks, and smells too. This is a small suite, so you are essentially paying for the aesthetic or close proximity to Bourbon street. If you are happy with either of those aspects book it! However, beware that not all aspects are as pictured in this suite, and there are certain things at this price range that can be improved on... mainly the sweeping and polishing of floor boards. I observed the white walls would benefit from a good hand-washing as well. (It is my understanding that incorporating those maintenance procedures would keep the old mansion smell down.) I was also disappointed to see the gold rimmed white chair was not in the room as pictured, instead there were white family sized large futon style couches interior and exterior- that again could benefit from hand-washing! After all, they are white! Lastly be mindful, these beds are firm, so soft sleepers will have a rough night! If you get dizzy, the floor boards are a bit slanted. So there you go, this is a great room, and I wanted to leave an honest review, but certainly not a bad one... what this room lacks in these certain areas, it makes up for in a clean beautiful bathroom, prompt response from management, and comfort of living in the French Quarter.
