This place is fantastic! It was the perfect spot to start my trip. I stayed in the king room with the semi-private balcony. The room was gorgeous and spacious with lovely touches. There was also fantastic furniture to make the stay comfortable (and even a fridge!). And using keycode locks instead of keys was very convenient.
I'm so glad I picked a room with the balcony. It was amazing to start and end my days out there with a nice breeze and enjoying the people walking by and the distant sounds of live music from Frenchman Street. And entering through a giant window is pretty cool :) Plus the furniture out there was comfortable. I'm not a small person and the chairs were plenty comfy!
You're in a neighborhood - not on a busy street - which means it's quiet and you're not kept up all night as you would be if you were close to tourist spots like Bourbon or Frenchman.
The breakfast was a great spread and the champagne/kettle chips upon arrival were a delightful touch! I also appreciated the water cooler at the bottom of the stairs.
I was torn between the king and queen rooms that shared the 2nd floor balcony. The queen has an en suite bathroom and the king has one across the hall. There weren't photos of the king bathroom so I wasn't sure what to expect.
If you're debating between the two as I was, here's some info about the bathroom. It really is right across the hall and it's well-stocked. It's a walk-in shower with a small basin sink (you don't really need more than that for the sink, it's a good size). The bathroom is one step up and it's sort of like a closet off the hallway.
I'm a big girl and the bathroom fit fine, but if I were much bigger it would have been difficult to navigate. It's likely too small for two people to use comfortably. So if you're traveling with someone and want true privacy with a bathroom - the king is the way to go. If you like to chat while you're getting ready in the morning, maybe choose the queen.
I can't wait to return! It was such a fantastic weekend.
