  : The mansion is gorgeous. Great location and the folks working went above and beyond.
  : Our bed was very uncomfortable. It was a mattress topper that needed a mattress under it. Also, the room offered a clawfoot bathtub but we couldn’t use it as there was no drain stopper. The room itself was beautiful though.

  : The ambience is classic and chic antique. It has so much character and I loved the courtyard and feeling of old history. I can see why it is one of the most photographed locations in the garden district. The staff was very helpful courteous. They stayed way past check in hours since our flight arrived so late. The room itself is spacious and the shower is very large.
  : My only complaint is the noise when trying to sleep. While it's in the garden district so it's a quiet neighborhood, I would suggest not staying in courtyard room 2 in particular. Even though the bed is comfortable, it is extremely loud. Not sure how a mattress becomes this loud but it makes very loud creeking sounds with every movement. So if you're a light sleeper like me you may end up mad at your hubby. Also that room in particular is under a main part of the house so every time the person above us walked with their heels on or moved furniture the noise exacerbated. This would not have been a problem had it not been midnight. So my advice is stay in a different room and your stay will be wonderful.

  : This is a well located and very beautiful property. Having a small fridge in the room and access to a microwave oven really helped my somewhat long stay in New Orleans. I only needed to walk one block and I had access to a streetcar that would take me downtown and the French Quarter. The staff there was friendly and very helpful in getting me checked in and out during strange hours. One employee waited over an hour past their shift to get me comfortably into my room upon my late arrival.
  : There are some maintenance issues at this property with unsightly pealing paint and some broken drawers in the bathroom. These are easy fixes and should not detract from the incredible beauty of this property.

  : No breakfast only coffee
  : Needs a lot of attention. Has a greet potential but for now no. Bed uncomfortable. Steps inside wobbly. Repaired work needed in many areas.
