Arrived with high expectations given the reviews and images and expectations were met. Location was ideal - close enough to the French Quarter to walk but also far enough away that we truly felt we were in a different part of the city. Nearby bars, restaurants, coffee shops. We walked to Cafe du Monde and it only took about 15 minutes; another day, we walked to Cochon Butcher in about 15 minutes the other direction, and that's about the same distance to the WWII museum.
Atmosphere was restored classic with a Southern vibe. Looked like the photos. Jazz band during happy hour on Friday was a nice touch and we people coming in-and-out, you felt like you were truly in the heart of New Orleans. Service was good. Took advantage of the Press Box happy hour.
Everything was clean. Could tell this was very important for both rooms and the hotel lobby. The room sizes are as described... a standard room is going to feel like a small, boutique-type hotel room.
The couple we traveled with mentioned being able to hear some noise through the walls, but we didn't have that issue.
Only small quibble: do not look at the images of the shower/bathroom on third-party sites and expect that to be what's in all the rooms. Based on the Hotels.com photos, we expected a nice, sizable shower and not an old, small, basic bathtub/shower combo. I suppose that's our fault.
Overall, felt like it was a fair value and met expectations. Would stay there again.
