I really enjoyed my stay. It was a unique experience staying at a hostel, but the place was very clean. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in and I stayed at the Hilton a few nights before coming to this hotel which was paid by my employer for a work conference.
This place was really close to where bourbon street madness begins. We walked only 3 blocks to get there.
The room was really large. alots of place. We had our own private bathroom with shower, but it is located down the hall. Which wasn't a big deal. The kitchen was stocked with plates, cups and ice. Our room had a private refrigerator which was nice. Our first night we did have some ants. BUt as soon as I reported it they literally dealt with it that second. I mean QUICK. lol. They washed and replaced everything. NO MORE ANTS. No TV in the room but in New Orleans you shouldn't be watching TV at all. There is always something to do and somewhere to go. At first we feared we would hear people talking next door but we never heard anything. BUT, we also didn't stay in our room for too long. We were up by 11am and we didn't come back home until 2am. we did take a 5-7pm nap before heading out again.
The only cons where 1. no mirror in the our room!!! and the internet was always down. I had to use my own person hotspot. Maybe too many people using it??
Host sent me a scary email about please ignore first floor. I almost canceled on that email alone. I don't think that note was necessary. There was nothing wrong with first floor. It was nice and clean. Neighborhood was a little scary looking. only because it looks like an alley but when you start walking around new Orleans you realize that all streets look like alleys once you get out of all the noise. But we sow no homeless or junkies or anyone on the street.
So it was fine with in. Lot of security so many codes to get in to every door which is good but i guess could be annoying. I personally didn't mind.
