I will preface this with saying I was not fully understanding of the bourbon st reputation even in the "off-season" the hotel was beautifully appointed inside but sadly as is the state of our current world situation homelessness was ver apparent on the exterior. The staff of the hotel was wonderfully accommodating and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, the side st balcony was very nice. The night life of bourbon st was at all times evident, if you cant sleep with noise this is not the place for you. We never felt unsafe but as I'm older and not a partier i felt out of my element. I would highly recommend the hotel if you want to enjoy bourbon st for all its known for.
