TL;DR 3-stars because this place is totally fine in almost every way but all of us agreed the beds were bad. We were really only in the place to sleep so that’s too big a thing to give this a higher rating.
****
Check-in: Easy, but the gate to get in is like perpetually stuck and you basically have to slide through sideways.
Location: Fine. Walkable to some good restaurants and bars on Freret St, grocery and CVS/walgreens all very close if you forget anything. That said, if you are visiting New Orleans, it is not particularly close to anything you will probably want to do. ~15 minute car ride to go most places in the city.
Accomodations: Good. Clean overall, decent kitchen we used several times, bathrooms had good water pressure and hot water didnt run out ever with 5 of us staying there.
Beds: Gonna put these in their own category because wooooof. Not good. Everyone in a king said theirs was uncomfortable. One king in particular (the first one) basically collapses in the middle, and not in a “this is just a very soft bed” way. More of a “sink hole which is honestly apropos given the state of New Orleans roads” way.
I have some neck issues and the night I tried to sleep on it was hell. I ended up taking one of the twins and another guest graciously switched with me, but he agreed it was terrible.
There’s a chiropractor directly across the street, which I guess might be a perk for some people in light of the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Or it could be a follow-the-money kinda thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
