We loved everything about this building. It was centrally located, beautifully decorated and over 200 years old! A very large part of the charm of this building is it's age and history. If you are not able to appreciate slanted stairways and drafty doorways (not usually much of a problem in New Orleans!) you should try a chain hotel otherwise stay here and bask in the beauty of this old Creole townhouse. Our second level suite was comfortable and our host, Ryan, was very helpful. We stayed during a unusually cold snap (-6C/20F overnight) and he arranged extra blankets for us immediately. We will be back next December and we would not hesitate to stay in the Royal suite again.
