It took us a while to settle on a place to roost for a weekend trip to the Big Easy. Unbeknownst to us, it was a fraternities weekend reunion, a cocktail conference, and two other citywide events as well. This place had good reviews, so we took the plunge. Located very close to everything, we couldn't have done better if we tried. 3/4 of our outings were walkable from the hotel. The room has a classy feel to it. You could see some spots that needed touch ups, post-renovation. It's an older facility, so you expect some wear and tear. The AC was on point during this hot summer weekend. The staff were fantastic from curbside, to room service, to the bar tender. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The pool was nice, i went at 8 am both mornings. The second day there was a fair amount of trash around the pool. This could have been cleaned prior to pool opening. There a was also what looked to be a broken window on a door next to the pool the next day. NOLA is always a party. Can't help what the hooligans do. There was no glass or anything, so kudos for the clean up.
Some areas for improvement:
- Cosmetic touch ups. The ac vent needed some caulking and paint. Gaps look worse than they actually are.
- The hot water took 15 minutes to arrive. I don't mind a cold shower, but my roommate was less than happy about it.
- The door required sufficient strength to open. It and the frame were not seeing eye to eye. Older, younger, and weaker folks would have issues getting in and out.
-Spot check the pool area for cleaning. Kids dont need to be tripping on bottles and whatnot. Nor do i ;)
Definitely a food spot I would hit up again for a weekend excursion.
