Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The service was appalling. No one answered the phone, the concierge desk, etc. they fell through with promises of “concierge” ex: I needed a toothbrush. Three times I had to walk downstairs to the desks because the phones were being unanswered, just to talk down and see the staff and concierge chatting with each other, just ignoring calls from the room. There was a man named Armani that was very kind and helpful.

They charged 1,000 a night for the weekend we were staying here and our door battery died on the first night so we couldn’t get into the room at 1 am. They weren’t bringing us new towels for the shower. And for that much money the hotel rooms are not even that nice.

What a great hotel! We (and several thousand) were in town for T Swift. The hotel is just gorgeous inside with great dining options. Full of true NO character. We ADORED the doorman, Caleb! He was lively, full of great info and just a very welcoming and helpful guy. The hotel IS on Bourbon St and we had young Swifties with us, but it was never an issue. Short walk to great shops and restaurants!

Staff was outstanding. Kiki the bartender at Desire, the gentleman shucking oysters, waitstaff like Shirley were all fantastic! Loved the location and how walkable all the attractions were (Jackson Sq, French Market, restaurants, shops, parades). The courtyard at the hotel was a great place to meet with friends, have a drink and enjoy the beautiful weather.
