The hotel is in a great location, close to a few restaurants and everyplace we wanted to go. It's also conveniently close to the trolley which takes you Uptown and the streetcar. The rooms are elegant, cozy, and spotless. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, offering great recommendations and organizing tours. The breakfast options were just right for us, with coffee, juice, fruit, and croissants available. the hotel offers a beautiful house and friendly service.
One negative aspect was the noise in some of the rooms, particularly those located on the ground floor near the lobby area.
