I took my 16 yr old daughter on a momma daughter trip for one of her Xmas gifts. I lived in nola and she lived in Florida and our trips together were special. We relaxed, walked to esplanade to the store and when we got back laid and bed snd talked and talked snd laughed it was a beautiful place and love the way they kept it as original as they can. Id stay there again everything time.
WE LOVED OUR STAY! Everything was beautiful and clean, the bed was very comfortable. You cannot beat this location, close enough to walk to the party scene but far enough that nothing messes with your quiet mornings! 10/10 recommend! Crossing my fingers I'll be back soon
Pleasantly surprised after reading some reviews. Very clean place. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Extra bedding for the sofa was in the bedroom closet. Asia at the front desk was helpful and kind! We really enjoyed our stay, we would come back.
I cant say enough about my room (#3). it is a massive 2 bd w ba apartment with a huge balcony on esplanade Ave. the people watching all day and night is superb. it can be noisy of course as a result but settles down after midnight on a Fri. the bed was so comfy, sheets so silky. if u live historic architecture, you cant pass this place up. this will be by new go to spot every time im in town!
