New Orleans has a lot of older housing and converted housing, and this was apparently an old house on the edge of the French Quarter that was converted. The small room in a divided-up building and confined building lot space are consistent with this heritage. It is within walking distance to many French Quarter areas, businesses, and restaurants. The small room, small bathroom, and limited amenities are not for everyone. Our room had a queen bed with a foam mattress cover, but the mattress sagged into the middle. The motel-style heat pump HVAC unit was noisy, as was the dehumidifier, so all outside and other-room noise was masked. The dehumidifier does not have an attached drain, so it must be drained daily. The people responding to our needs were friendly and helpful, but there is no on-site staff for immediate and in-person advice or assistance. There is no parking on the street except for N.O. residents, so you have to find a place with no restriction or use one of the pay lots. All in all, it was expensive for what it was, but we had a good New Orleans visit, and used their recommendation for Verti Marte for food, which was very good for the price vs. most restaurants, but still fairly costly. It IS New Orleans, so, like many major cities, plan to spend more than anything is really worth, no matter what it is. Bottom line: been there, done that, so we have no need to return.
