Very cute little hotel right along the St. Charles streetcar line, which is very handy; we stayed with our dog for four nights and paid a little extra for a "City View," which was worth it, as we had a charming third floor view of the streetcar and dramatic trees on St. Charles. The hotel and room were not new, but are well appointed and very comfortable. The room size was plenty, and it was very convenient to have an extra sink area near the entryway. We loved having wood laminate floors (preferred -- especially in a pet friendly hotel!), a microwave, and a decent sized in-room refrigerator. The staff was all very lovely, efficient, and on hand for any needs, and there is a record player in the lobby and frequently music playing when we walked in, which we liked. The free parking lot behind the hotel was gated and required a "clicker" for entrance, and we were grateful that our vehicle was parked somewhere safe enough my husband felt comfortable leaving his golf equipment in the car at night, so we didn't have to lug it to the room each day. There is a cute Tex Mex restaurant attached to the hotel that was yummy, and seems very popular; you can enter the restaurant through doors in the hotel lobby, which was nice. We also ate a block away at a little neighborhood Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant, August Moon, which was fresh, cheap, and decent, and we enjoyed walking a few more blocks south to Magazine St. to check out some boutique shops and get Thai food a different night.
