This has beautiful views, comfortable bedding, & great walkable location. The hidden tourism tax & extra fees are disappointing

The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was huge and I especially loved the large jacuzzi tub! Check in and check out were a breeze! Close walking distance to everything! If I’m ever back in New Orleans, I’d stay here again!
