Near French Quarter, quiet, cheap, offstreet parking (20$ per night), soft bed, room well equipped but small, staff friendly. Hotel is run down and needs maintentnace. But for younger, adventurous visitors wanting inexpensive accommodation, I can recommend this hotel. For older, more particular guests, it might be good to find another.

Clean room and property. Outdated but charming in its own way. Not in the greatest area but close enough to the French Quarter to walk but not advised late night alone. For the money it was worth it

This hotel is an inexpensive, clean, and safe hotel in Marigny. It is within walking distance of the French Quarter and Frenchman St. Public transportation available nearby. The room I had was clean. The floors were creaky at points but it's a 130 yr old building. If you want a hotel with bells and whistles, stay elsewhere. If you want to experience the charm of Marigny, I highly recommend.

Good location. Not the cleanest but over all fine. The AC unit in our room did not work whatsoever, lucky the ceiling fan was enough at night for me to stay cool. Sheets definitely had some old make up stains but overall it’s a true budget Nola motel.
