2. we stayed as part of a wedding party, the ceremony was held in the hotel, the staff were really helpful, the housekeeper is an absolute doll, the hotel overall is a little faded and a little worn but then so is the rest of the French Quarter, our room had a lovely balcony on toulouse next to Bourbon, which was fabulous for people watching although could be noisy, it seems to me that the hotel is just like a large b & b, family run as opposed to corporate, and really not all that different from family run hotels in France, you need a sense of adventure to stay here.
