Room was good for the price however housecleaning was hit or miss and they did not clean the bathroom floor once in the 5 days we were there and on the days they did clean the room, they would forget to empty out the trash cans or left the bathroom sink dirty. Breakfast was just ok, nothing to rave about. The staff day staff was much more helpful than the night staff but both were friendly. The hotel itself is nice and centrally located. We walked almost everywhere.
This was decent hotel for the price. Nice spacious room with a pleasant view of the street. I really liked that it was walkable for me when it came to exploring dinner options in the area.
Everything about the hotel was great. The staff was wonderful and offered suggestions on historical buildings. The hotel was in a great location. It's just 2-3 blocks from the Third Ward where there is lots of shopping and restaurants including the public market. Fun area!!!
