We stayed in the Greenwood Suite, which was huge, with a nice big bathroom. It opens onto its own porch, which looks out over St Charles St and made for good people watching. There is another common area porch on the Washington St side which is covered and was also pleasant when ours was too sunny. The only comment about that particular room is that it being on the front side, there was some street noise. I think all the other rooms would be a little quieter. I doubt it would bother you, unless you really need it quiet.
The house, as others have said, is truly grand. Tall ceilings, wood staircases, and period furniture really made this feel like a comfortable antique. I see some reviews that complain of the old furniture and aged feel. If you like it new, plumb, and square, you should stay at HoJo's. If you like it with the character that only time can bring, you'll adore this house.
Some reviewers have also commented on the breakfast. I think those are old and no longer valid. It is not a full service breakfast, but we were served items that were fresh, local, interesting, and varied. Threre was also staff on hand to offer the hot item of the morning, should you wish it. One morning was quiche, for example. But there was fresh local bread, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, interesting spreads, cereal, fruit, and much more, and if you can't make a breakfast out of that yo mama didn't raise you right. You don't want a huge meal anyway, because aren't you about to set off to explore New Orleans' great cuisine?
Thanks, Bonnie & Friends, for a very nice, low key, southern-comfort stay. We appreciate your hospitality!
