Unique place- surprisingly quiet and close to midcity. Great communication with no contact check in and checkout.

It's a nice little spot in a kind of weird area - never felt unsafe or anything like that but kind of industrial. I wish check out time was at least an hour later, but other than that no complaints!

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. When we walked in there were friendship bracelets and a welcome card from the staff! Very personable. The room was a little small for the 4 of us, but for the price for the weekend it wasn't too bad.

Gated parking and contactless check-in/out was good. My door needed service, however, as it was difficult to lock and open. Also, my door was open when I checked in. Not sure if the staff had trouble with it like I did during my stay. Besides those easily fixable things, I liked this place and would use it again next time I'm in town.

Uncomfortable Sleep Due To Air Cooling Unit

It was a convenient location. The rooms are really small for two people to navigate. The air cooling unit was so loud that we could not sleep without wearing earplugs or suffering through the heat. When we complained about the noise, we were offered either a sound machine or a box fan. This led me to believe the problem was already noted and the room was rented anyway.

At least the beds were comfy

The room was so tiny. There was barely room to walk with 2 queen beds a mini fridge and a mini desk. The beds were comfy. There was no staff on site when we checked out. The link to do check in and check out did not work. People were screaming and playing at pool at 3am

Watch your step

This motel was ok. It was a small room. Check your email because you check in with it and do not see anyone at all. The really bad part is that the metal steps have been painted with a thick coat of slippery paint. It rained while we were there and my wife and I both fell and hurt ourselves badly. They need to fix this.

It’s in a dangerous part of town, rife with drugs sales & prostitution. When we arrived at 12am bc our flight was delayed I was shocked & scared bc it was in a sketchy part of NOLA. They would not allow us to leave & get our money back. I called Expedia. They asked them to allow us to leave & give us our money back but they refused. We heard a gun go off one night
