We all thought that it would be classy and upscale. I had lucked out on a last minute deal online.
It wasn't what I expected. The people were friendly enough, but the hotel was old and small. I guess when they talk of it being a gem of a hotel, they are referring to it's former glory. I would have much preferred to stay at the Hampton Inn up the street.
I wasn't going to NOLA for old world charm. I was going to visit with my friends and I wanted a quality room to come back to.
It never did get quite cool enough in there for the hot New Orleans nights (and days). As just one person in the room, I felt cramped. It would have been awful for two.
They also charged my credit card twice for incidentals. Something I only recently discovered! (I tend to leave my statements unopened and bank online.)
Mistake or scam? I don't know. But I won't be staying there again OR recommending it to anyone.
