Loved it

Great place. Well run. Clean. It’s on a busy street so you want to put some ear plugs in or play some white noise at night. Not a big deal. Outstanding hotel.

Kaity, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A cute redone motel with nice beds and gated parking. But the room was tiny and the walls thin - I don’t know if I would stay again with a teen.

Shameka, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. When we walked in there were friendship bracelets and a welcome card from the staff! Very personable. The room was a little small for the 4 of us, but for the price for the weekend it wasn't too bad.
Kara, 2-night trip

Angelica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Needed a place to stay for one night while in New Orleans. This was a great choice. Very clean room, easy check-in when i arrived, easy check out in the morning when I left
Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bus stop out the front was very handy, beds were comfortable, these were the pros. The cons include a bathroom door that has to be rehung constantly, one chair, tiny room for (supposedly) four people.
