The room at Magnolia was nice and within walking distance to about everything. They are a dog friendly hotel- but you have to walk about 4-5 blocks to find a place for your dog to go to the bathroom. NOLA, as a whole, is EXTREMELY dog-unfriendly. There is almost no grad that poor pups can go potty on. That being said, everything else was exactly as they advertised and explained. Overall a great stay!
