This hotel was amazing! From the time we checked in we were provided with the best customer service by Bryan. He was so attentive, funny and helpful and all around great guy. He provided us with some history of the hotel which was a beautiful old mansion that had been renovated and tips on restaurants in the area. He also provided us with little nice touches like satin pillowcases, free drinks, free parking and even provided a Dyson hair blower upon request. Bryan’s customer service was top notch which made the hotel an even more memorable experience for us. The room Bryan gave us was beautiful and the pool lovely after a long day in the heat. Thanks again for your help Bryan we will definitely be coming back and I would definitely recommend this hotel.
This place exceeded my expectations. I was looking to stay in a place alluding to the New Orleans period of history and I was not wrong. The mansion is in perfect condition. With space for breakfast, which in fact the breakfast was very good and super complete!!! The best we tried during our trip out of the 3 places we stayed. It had a gym, an area to do yoga, a pool which was a plus with the heat that it was, we arrived hot from walking and being able to cool off here was great. The staff was super attentive. We had snacks and water at our disposal. The guy who received us was super cool and by the way we thank him for suggesting us to eat at Muriels restaurant, he was not wrong. In general I give it a 10 out of 10 for everything. From the service to the amenities. I fell in love with the mansion and I hope if I return to this area to stay here again.
We had a lovely time staying in this charming hotel. Our butler was amazing. He spent time talking about the history of the hotel and was very helpful recommending things to do! Our room was amazing and spacious. It was exactly what we’d hoped for!
