Astonishing 19th Century architecture beautifully housing imviting, well-managed hotel steps from the lively Third Ward. Excellent, friendly, helpful staff -- "like walking into a museum every day." We're hooked.

The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful! On entering the hotel, the outdoor carpet was dirty - not a good first impression. The ladies' restroom off the main lobby was not clean when I was in there Saturday morning. The Keurig was hard to operate because of its location.
