Reviews
-
The lobby and the rooms were so unique. We were close to Bourbon Street enough so that we walked to the French quarter. Easy to get in and out of the parking lot but be advised that there's a $20 parking fee per day which is very reasonable.
-
Clean room, polite staff, excellent location.
-
We will be back!
-
Also because my friends payment hadnt completed, they took her room payment off my card as well as my own without even an email acknowledgement meaning my bank balance was overdrawn until we realised when we were back in the UK.
-
Great large room. Good in room amenities. Would have like a breakfast but knew in advance that was not part of the service. Parking on site. More than I wanted to pay but less than other hotels in the area
-
Was very impressed with the staff & enjoyed my interactions with Tequila at the front desk. Very hospitable & when my ac unit seemed to not be working, she promptly put me into another room. Maintenance was quick to come and realized the ac was in fact working. Room was very comfortable & the bathroom was roomy & updated. Would definitely stay here again.

The walk from the hotel to Bourbon street wasn't bad, only a few minutes. You pass a lot along the way including a gas station and police station. One of the nicest staff I've ever encountered. Lovely at all times of day! 10/10 Everyone should stay here!

A gem in Nola that we never knew existed! Loved it and will be back
-
Unfortunately our room never got serviced. Even after we complained and it was noted we still never had any housekeeping services. The property is clean, convenient, and cool being a museum on the first floor as it was the old train station, we were on the third floor and there was a party on the fourth floor that lasted until 11:30pm above us that ruined one evening. A fun convenient place, but not a 4 or 5 star facility. No pool or dining option.

The room was amazing. Could not ask for a better location. It’s off the French quarter and bourbon st. The hop on hop off bus is a stop if you choose not to walk. The staff was very friendly. When I go back to the big easy this will be my first destination.

Unique history with a small museum. It is a stop on the Hip On Hip Off route. It is easy walking distance to the French Quarters.
-
Lovely hotel and close to town. We had a room with no window which I wouldn’t recommend
-
The room was amazing, exactly like the pictures. It was spacious, especially the room and bathroom, and the staff were incredible and really welcoming.
-
I forgot that this hotel doesn't provide breakfast. My room also doesn't have any windows, which made it hard to wake up in the morning. But otherwise it's a great hotel. I love the style--the elevator, the wall & lamps in my room, etc.
-
Huge rooms! Quiet! Historic! Amazing experience!
-
The Brakeman was awesome! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel parking was right in front of the hotel. Security of this location was great. Lobby and room very clean. The room very cozy. Best hotel we ever stayed at!
-
It’s an interesting building, train station vibe with mid century modern furnishings. Convenient location. My only complaint is no drink machine or place to buy drinks after 4:30 pm. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nice. Liked all the wood accents throughout the room and building.
-
Very clean and safe Hotel. The concierge was very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.
-
Very swanky. Super clean and updated with amazing style. Would absolutely stay here again. Parking was a breeze.
