Not a four star
As someone who travels a lot and stays at only 4 and 5 stars, this hotel is absolutely not a 4 star. The bathrooms are very run down and the bedroom is carpeted. Day housekeeping service is quite bad. The other staff is very friendly. Day 1 - No lotion or shower gel/soap provided, shower curtain 12 inches too short, bathroom gets soaked with showers, toilet within inches of shower, housekeeping doesn’t take trash out, no new tub floor towel given only part replacement of towels. Day 2- No new hand towels given only bath towels, housekeeping again left same trash on floor, minibar water not refilled and we were willing and wanted to pay for minibar water and still couldn’t. Convenience stores nearby closed when we returned home and we really wanted water. Went to front desk who said they didn’t have access to it and they would ask housekeeping if they could find from another room. They then came right away. Night housekeeping always came quickly to bring the items that day housekeeping would forget. Day 3- housekeeping knocks loudly everyday at 9 asking to clean. that is far too early and not standard practice. Day 4- on day of checkout (a Sunday morning in New Orleans), housekeeping knocked loudly on door at 9 am asking us when we were checking out so they could clean. I said not till checkout time at noon. They came another four times knocking in the next three hours and woke us several times.

Awesome
Our stay was great, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The beds are very comfortable, I slept like a baby. There is a bar downstairs and the food is really good there, especially the wings. I definitely recommend stay here.

My stay
It is a lovely hotel with comfortable beds and linens. Smart decor. My complaint would be not having the room serviced. There is no placard to place on the door to ask to not be disturbed or to be cleaned. I went out early for the day and came back tired to rest at 4 that is when the maid came to clean and disturb me. Another note is no one at the main front door. It is a heavy door and when you have luggage and no one there it is not so welcoming.

What happened to this lovely hotel?
The restaurant and cafe are good and staff is amicable. Unfortunately the rooms seem to have gone into disrepair. I have stayed there several times but this year out room had missing light bulbs, non working lamps, a very wet carpeted floor on arrival, mushroom type orange mold around the bathtub, all broken towel hooks, broken shower faucet and the toilet made huge screeching sounds so I could not use the bathroom while my daughter was sleeping.
