Unique history with a small museum. It is a stop on the Hip On Hip Off route. It is easy walking distance to the French Quarters.

I forgot that this hotel doesn't provide breakfast. My room also doesn't have any windows, which made it hard to wake up in the morning. But otherwise it's a great hotel. I love the style--the elevator, the wall & lamps in my room, etc.

The Brakeman was awesome! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel parking was right in front of the hotel. Security of this location was great. Lobby and room very clean. The room very cozy. Best hotel we ever stayed at!

It’s an interesting building, train station vibe with mid century modern furnishings. Convenient location. My only complaint is no drink machine or place to buy drinks after 4:30 pm. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nice. Liked all the wood accents throughout the room and building.

We were in the Deluxe King room and had an insane view of the St. Louis cemetary next door. Beautiful, roomy room and comfortable bed. I loved being just on the border of the French Quarter so we could walk there within minutes without actually staying in it. If I am ever in New Orleans again, I would absolutely stay here again.

We were there for my nephew and his wife's rooftop wedding. The hotel was clean, the staff was super nice, and my husband loved the coffee.
