We were impressed by it's location, just half a block from Bourbon St., and easy walking distance to most locations in the French Quarter. We were a little disappointed that we didn't have a balcony and surprised that neither the bistro or restaurant were open due to kitchen remodeling. However, we found the staff quite helpful with suggestions and directions to great restaurants. Overall, it was a little shabby, but well cared for, and we would definitely stay again.
