I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's situated in a prime location, close to the French Quarter and everything I wanted to see, like the WWII Museum. The rooms had that New Orleans feel, and having a balcony was a lovely touch. The service was top-notch, with housekeeping keeping everything spotless. The only downside was the dining options, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
