Needed a place to stay for a quick weekend trip and was looking for something economical since we were really only going to be there to sleep. Parking was a breeze on the side street right next to the building. I wasn’t expecting there to be 20+ individual units in the building but we didn’t have any issues with noise while we stayed and the few people we saw in passing were all friendly. It almost felt like a private hostel setting. It was extremely convenient if you are using the Canal Street Trolley as it’s maybe a 2 minute walk to the closest pickup/drop-off point. The only negatives that we experienced were it smelled like someone had previously smoked in our room and the first night when getting into bed there was a bug on the comforter. I realize bugs are everywhere including Nola but it’s never a good feeling seeing that on your bed. I wouldn’t stay here long term but for a quick trip I think this place checks all the boxes.
