This hotel was the most affordable choice within the heart of the french quarter with both a great rating and a king-sized bed. Overall we enjoyed the stay, nice area, walkable to most places and close to bus and street car on Rampart. AC and fan worked well and quietly. Friendly staff and they were able to store my luggage after checkout, although not in a secure area, just dumped in the lobby, but they were safe upon our return. Main downsides were a very small bathroom in room 13 anyway, hard to maneuver with 2 people. No safe or fridge in room but ice is available in an alley behind the hotel. The iron staircase was a challenge, not sure why it was hard to get up and down, but especially with bags. Pay a worker to move them for you, much better choice. The first night was SO LOUD from street noise, garbage trucks move in every day around 4 or 5 am. Sirens, cars, etc. It got a bit better the other nights, but be aware the doors are not very soundproof and you are right on the street. Bed was adequate, not super hard but not the most comfortable, either. I would consider staying here again if I couldn't find another place that didn't cost double. I wish there had been "do not disturb" signs for the door because I did not really need housekeeping to come in just to replace towels that had only been used once.
