Review
This is a boutique hotel based in an historic house (Tennessee Williams lived at room 9 for some time). It is really barely a 4 star in terms of amenities, but it has a delightful courtyard with a fountain that is an oasis of peace in the French Quarter. Room 15 is the best (we also stayed in the King suite, which is more expensive, but less good). They have quaint customs like complimentary port in the courtyard each evening, which helps make up for a very mixed concierge service. The young guys we met were fine, but the two older ones were just amazing – unhelpful, grumpy and completely clueless. There is a pool two blocks down in the Audobon cottages (which you can also stay at, and which are roomy) though the pool is more for sitting by than getting in – distinctly murky. Overall though, a charming place that is perfectly situated in the heart of the French Quarter. |
