Very good

Liked: Location is amazing in a historic area of town, right near Fritzels jazz club which was one of my favourites in NO. The staff at the hotel could not have been more welcoming and helpful. If I return the large rooms downstairs looked stunning for two people also, my room was also perfect for one.
