Exceptional

Definitely planning on going back!

Liked: Location, room were nice.
Disliked: Not much of a pool.

Nice hotel in a dangerous...

Liked: In the French Quarter, reasonable prices, large room, king beds (Rare in the quarter).
Disliked: Requested room service, never got it.Staff must start warning guests, that on Saturday nights, the “Jimani” bar about 10 yards away, is a dangerous place for white people to even walk by. It was fine Wednesday-Friday. Saturday night at almost midnight, we’re walking back to our rooms. We turned the corner and were in the middle of crowd of 25-30 black males and females loitering (obstructing passage) on the sidewalk in front of the Jimani bar. The one B/M security guard was busy patting people all the way down for weapons prior to them entering the bar (another bad guy bar warning sign). The street was jammed with traffic so it was not an option to walk around the crowd. We walked through it dodging 18-27 year old males getting high and drunk. I said “excuse me guys” to a B/M wearing a large backpack, as I guided my family (ducks in a row) around him. My wife and 2 daughters heard him say to me, “What the fuck are you doing on our side of town! Your (white people) not supposed to be here!” I’m a Tulsa cop with 33 years of experience. This could have gotten bad, really fast. Similar to the white people recently hospitalized in Cincinnati. A warning from staff, to go around the block the long way to avoid problems, would have been acceptable. This was a very volatile situation. If I would have heard the racist black guy and verbally responded, the large group would have bummed rushed us and hospitalized my family or worse.

Very good

My family and I got...

Liked: Hotel was excellent!
Disliked: Security outside on the streets could be better.

Great location and value

Liked: Great location with a great well set up apartment. Staff were excellent

Gross.

Liked: The property, once finally in, had a pretty cool historic vibe. Both people up front were nice and helpful. Our room was spacious.
Disliked: Parking is god awful! They don’t have parking of their own so you have to park and walk two blocks away at the Wyndham hotel. It’s $38 to park and valet only. The valet staff is absolutely terrible! After being scrutinized by another hotels valet staff you walk through the back ally’s being heckled by locals trying to scam you out of anything they can, to finally arrive back at the Quarterhouse. Once in the room, we find that the shower heads (double head, one shower) have never been cleaned and might be better off not showering, blood stains on curtains, and hair on bedding and towels. This was literally a step down from our $70 a night La Quinta stay in northern Pensacola. I assume people have beer goggles on while visiting New Orleans, but not us. Never again!
