Check in was smooth and easy. The location was great and was walking distance to all the attractions in the french quarter. I'm guessing the building is older and there was a musty smell in the hallways. When we entered our room, there was a very strong perfume smell. We later found it was from plug ins all over the room. I'm very sensitive to smells and would have preferred the musty smell over the perfume smell. It was an easy fix and we just unplugged all the plug ins and opened the windows. Our stay overall was very nice and convenient.
