The property is close to the train tracks and the trains do start running in the early hours of the morning horns blaring. If you're on the Decatur Street side of the building it can be very loud.

Beautiful hotel!
Our stay was wounderful. The only thing that would make it better is if their black out curtains blacked out a little better. But nothing to make our stay to uncomfortable. For those wondering, yes the hotel is older but so are most original buildings in New Orleans. If you want an authentic stay then this place is perfect. Our king room was huge and the walk in shower was beautiful. The water gets hot! So be careful there. The parking is not on site but at a neighbor hotel that you can see from the street and it is secure parking. The valet parking is $44+ according to when you stay and what is happening in town. It has a restaurant and bar beside the lobby. This did not disturb our stay. The restraunts around are awsome. Everything is with in walking distance or you can take the trolly. The staff was great and very welcoming every time we left or entered they greated us. Would definitely stay again.

The room was a bit more worn than expected but the bathroom was refurbished and everything was clean and comfortable. I asked for a balcony and got a patio outside the room so be specific but it was very nice. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was quaint and enjoyable. I recommend.

Perfect place to stay for us in the French Quarter, very nice. I would note to management you might want to get some bath mats. It felt like a safety hazard getting out of the shower. Great stay overall! Thanks!

The hotel is lovely. There's always complimentary eater available, as well as cookies and lemonade from 3-5PM. The courtyard was lovely and rather peaceful, except when the riverboat plays its boarding tune, at which time the sound fills the space. Our room was comfortable and pretty quiet facing away from the river. Most of the staff was sweet, conversational, and accommodating, but there was one less than friendly attendant our last full day there. We'd told her that we slept in and therefore needed housekeeping to attend our room (because they hadn't by time we'd returned from an excursion) and she grilled us about have the privacy sign on the door and acted like it was a bother to contact them. They still hadn't cleaned the room when we came back the second time, so we had to ask the front desk for towels. Fortunately, there was a different more accommodating attendant. Their cleaning staff doesn't seem to keep track of which rooms to go back to and who is checking out, because they were also pretty aggressive trying to get in on our last day at about 10AM when the privacy sign WAS on the door and checkout wasn't until 12PM. Otherwise, we definitely liked the place.

I could not get clean towels for 3 days. Housekeeping never left any. I asked multiple house keeping staff and was denied. I eventually was given some hand towels but then was asked to give them back. We could not get full size towels, hand towels, wash cloths, or shower mat towel. There were two of us and in the rare occasion I was provided any I was met with attitude and provided ONE. Also if you enjoy warm water, make sure to turn it on and wait 30 min or cold water will be all you get (we were 3rd floor balcony room). And the noise at night from boat horns and trains was terrible.
