I found this a mixed experience. On the one hand, fabulous location in terms of Frenchmen St, which is the best place in NOLA for music, and the Desire suite is as striking as it appears in the photos; it's an impressive room. The bed is enormous, comfortable, and it's a luxe experience sleeping under a large window overlooking New Orleans. Lovely, if somewhat impractical (no useful mirror, no desk, nowhere to put clothes, no drinking glasses, no bin, no wifi). On the other hand, the rest of the facilities are cramped, backpackery, shared, and not at all what I expected from the price tag. The downstairs communal area is tiny, cheap and contains one bar fridge between 4 rooms, and a pod coffee machine. There is a sign up asking us to limit ourselves to one coffee a day. Seriously? There was no creamer, so I couldn't avail myself. The second floor bathroom is shared between 3 rooms, and is very tight. It was rustic and interesting, but kinda grubby too, and there's something strange and grotty about sharing a sink with strangers, and having to remove everything from the area, when you're paying nearly $300 a night. So there's a disconnect - luxury upstairs, student common room downstairs. I didn't see Asia. She was kind enough to say we could leave our bags behind for extra time if necessary, but the lack of facilities left me feeling kinda taken advantage of. I'd say it could be a great place if you book out all the rooms with your friends, but there's no sound insulation at all, and I had to ask the other guests if they wouldn't mind keeping it down, as we could hear every word from upstairs.
