3. Got there and the room was very, very small, balcony looked out of construction, Balcony next to us was off the hallway so everyone smoked out there, so our room smelled like smoke.

4. I think it was from being unused for a while and maybe a little of the smell of NOLA itself.

6. The great shopping on Royal Street is a half block to your right and Bourbon Street is two blocks away (which makes it close but far enough away that you cannot hear it or smell it).
