Customer service very efficient. I salute the lady who assisted us to check in early thanks so much give us a chance to change and dress up for the graduation which was before the normal check-in time.

Not upscale, for sure, but kind of kitchy, laid back and fun. Access is controlled, just call the posted number. Rooms were clean and comfortable

A nice restored 60s motor inn with a pool. Good value only a few miles New Orleans' French Quarter. There is some minor road noise for the rooms near the check in desk.

This place was an incredible value. I only paid ~$80 a night. They keep it cheap by having relatively few staff and no default daily cleaning (which is how I prefer it). After booking I was simply given the gate and room codes and never interacted with anyone, which was fine by me. The room was nice - clean, with decent quality furniture (honestly better than the total crap you find even in big chain hotels that cost 200+ a night). Standard amenities: mini fridge, coffee and bottled water, desk with chair, TV, iron and ironing board, soap/shampoo/conditioner, air conditioning that I could actually dial down to 72. Only two negatives to report: I was woken up about half past midnight during one night of my stay by what sounded like someone throwing furniture around pretty violently in an adjacent room. It didn't sound like it came from a guest room, but somewhere else in the building. Oh, and the valve on my toilet wouldn't fully close without manual intervention (removing the tank lid and lifting), not a huge deal. I will definitely stay here again if I need a motel in New Orleans.

Third time staying here and once again it was wonderful! So easy, staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms are always very clean! Highly recommend.

I really appreciated the self-check in. Arriving rather late in the evening, I just wanted to get into a room and have a shower. The in-person check in process always seems to take so long. I was in my room in 20 seconds. Clean bed, hot water—and the location simply can not be beat. I will be back.

A clean motel with an easy check-in process. Not quite as pretty as the pictures, but who cares? It has everything you need, even a little coffee pot and water bottles. It's less than a 10-minute walk from the streetcar stop to take you to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter.

Ok so let's just state the obvious! This place is close to nothing! If you have a car or rental it's not bad. The positive is the place is clean nice and the few staff are fantastic and gracious. The pool is absolutely gorgeous! And the rooms are small but efficient! Honestly if you don't mind staying in the hood. This place is awesome ????
