Nicely remodeled small motel and good access to the French Quarter areas by public transportation. Economical due to its location near the city but also easy access to leave the city.

It's a nice little spot in a kind of weird area - never felt unsafe or anything like that but kind of industrial. I wish check out time was at least an hour later, but other than that no complaints!
