What an amazingly be6and weird place to stay. It was built in the late 1800s and you can feel that. It takes you away from the fast pace of bourbon street and the constant traffic allowing you to reset before going back out. The courtyard is extremely unique and beautiful.

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.
