We wanted to come to New Orleans with a budget but are definitely used to a certain quality of facilities and this was the perfect in between something fancy and something cheap. I very much love The artsy mural on the outside, it was very clean, the parking being a sign be a room was awesome, my only wish was that there was a microwave in the unit. If we come to New Orleans again we will definitely stay here

Gated parking and contactless check-in/out was good. My door needed service, however, as it was difficult to lock and open. Also, my door was open when I checked in. Not sure if the staff had trouble with it like I did during my stay. Besides those easily fixable things, I liked this place and would use it again next time I'm in town.

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. When we walked in there were friendship bracelets and a welcome card from the staff! Very personable. The room was a little small for the 4 of us, but for the price for the weekend it wasn't too bad.

Bus stop out the front was very handy, beds were comfortable, these were the pros. The cons include a bathroom door that has to be rehung constantly, one chair, tiny room for (supposedly) four people.

This was a last minute property due to a cancellation from another property. The room was clean and management was very helpful. My family felt safe there. Since we were in a room next to the street it did get noisy.
