In some ways, this is a great place to stay; in others, it isn't. The location is ideal for those who want to be close to Canal Street, Bourbon Street, the street cars, and other amenities in the city without overpaying for your stay. We had a blast in the city, and this property's location greatly contributed to that. On the other hand, the hotel is downtown, situated directly in front of the library, a bus stop, and down the street from a housing project. Nothing happened to us, and we never felt unsafe. With that said, we absolutely will stay there again.
