Clean room, room was also nice and modern. Bar on site. Close to Old Port restaurants and bars. Parking is an issue. You either have to valet for $40, park across the street in a garage for $55, or park a few blocks away in a lot for $25.

The only issue is the bathroom door. No privacy at all there. Parking is $40 a night. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable enough. The view is very good if you get a bay view. Friendly staff and breakfast was included. Breakfast was actually better than most places. They only turn the room when you ask. It says every other day but it was longer for us. No pool, but we knew that going in.
