1. My only issue with the room was the slight musty smell - but I think its due to the never ending humidity that New Orleans dishes out - I think it just gets into the drapes and carpet.

2. The room was nice and clean but the carpeting was dirty like some people complained about, but this is an old hotel, and has a well worn feel and even has that 'old antiques smell' and not in a bad way.

"Great Hotel, great location, Great customer service " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/16/2011 Vote

3. But out of the 3 rooms, my room had a musky smell, (I dont' know if I got a really old room or what) I don't spend too much time in my room but it wasn't too pleasant.

4. Beds/pillows were uncomfortable, floor was very squeaky, room, bathroom, and shower were small, room smelled stale, tv reception was snowy, it was loud from outside noise (ferry horns all day and night) and the 'seating area' in the room was laughable - one of the beds was pressed up against the chairs so you couldn't even get to it.

5. rooms smell moldy.

"Too loud for any sleep-great if you want to party, not if you need to work " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/16/2009 Vote

6. Drawbacks- minimal, but I did notice several people complaining about the interior rooms, also the hallway leading to the rooms was a bit uneven floors and musty smelling.

7. Location was excellent, in the french quarter, but not really near the tawdry party area (sorry, not my scene!) I felt the room was slightly musty and during August, you don't really want to open too many windows- but no one else in the family noticed any smell.

8. When we finally got to our room, it smelled like a musty basement.
