We loved our stay at the Royal Street Courtyard. Our host was very nice and offered plenty of tips for exploring the area and was available for us to contact her day or night. We stayed in room #7, and we loved our balcony! We also loved the complimentary bottle of bubbly! It is my understanding that the Royal Street Courtyard has changed owners recently and there have been some reviews that didn't sound too convincing...having said that, we were so pleased with everything...the room and bathroom was very clean and inviting. There was a hot breakfast of eggs, potatoes, grits, pastries, juice and coffee....every single day! The location couldn't be better! A 5 minute was to Frenchman Street and just another 10 minutes to Bourbon Street. Super close to plenty of action, however it was far enough from the noise and craziness. We visited during Mardi Gras and had such a memorable vacation.
