“For the budget-conscious traveler, this place has a safe neighborhood, helpful staff, and cold A/C; the on-site parking is convenient in New Orleans, and some rooms include balconies. While renovations are clearly needed to elevate the experience, the location is a walkable distance to nightlife. With improvements, this hotel has great potential.”
