This place needs a lot of work. It is my understanding the hotel was recently purchased by a hotel company and renovations are supposedly coming. We stayed there 2 nights before our cruise leaving out of New Orleans. The hotel has a great location, a great lounge and a beautiful pool area. Checked in on Friday 3/15/24 and the AC in our room on the 5th floor didn't work so the front desk moved us to another room on the 2nd floor. AC worked great!!! Went downstairs to the lounge and it was awesome!!! Josh, the bartender, was great. He is very friendly, full in good NOLA tips and best of all made us a perfect Cosmo. The next morning, we woke up to brownish water backed up in our bathroom sink and maintenace at the door about a water leak coming from our room. We got ready as best we could, went downstairs for a wonderful breakfast and then left for a fun day in the French Quarter. We met some friends and got back to the hotel late that evening only to find out the issue with the plumbing has not been fixed, a mess all in our bathroom (pictures below) and a sewer smell. We could not stay in that room so once again we talked with the front desk, and they moved us a 3rd time to a suite on the 4th floor. The AC worked, the water worked, but the room is in desperate need of new carpet and some updated furniture, and neither TV worked. The ice machine didn't work, and the elevator is a little sketchy. This place has a lot of potential but the plumbing, electric, internet, carpet, fixtures, furniture, and ceiling tiles need help. I didn't feel the place was necessarily dirty as much as outdated and run down. Serveral times other hotel guests were at the front complaining and or moving rooms or just leaving frustrated. We asked for a manager with each move but they were never there, and we left our contact info all three times, but no one ever called us. We asked for a refund for the second night, but the hotel refused. I am disappointed in the hotel management. Will I stay there again...NO. My recommendation is to stay at another hotel and visit Josh at the bar for a burger and a Cosmo.
