So the location of the Hotel was great. Short walk to bourbon street and canal street but far enough that you don't hear any noise. Their is a gas station right across the street in case you need anything. The hotel was clean and spacious and the railroad Museum inside the hotel was really neat. They also have a coffee spot located right in the hotel in case you need a drink in the morning. Would stay again.

Awesome location. Security staff at night very nice. Easy parking. Nice room. Had a few issues. Toilet seat broken. Cold water vibrated when you turned it on. Poor housekeeping- ice bucket not cleaned, didn’t make bed right, no new bottle of water.

Was very impressed with the staff & enjoyed my interactions with Tequila at the front desk. Very hospitable & when my ac unit seemed to not be working, she promptly put me into another room. Maintenance was quick to come and realized the ac was in fact working. Room was very comfortable & the bathroom was roomy & updated. Would definitely stay here again.
