We stayed for one night (actually, it was only 4 hours) to be closer to the airport on the way back from Baton Rouge. We got it on priceline for $40. It was a decent hotel, only about 10 minutes from downtown NO. The room was big and the kitchen was nice. There was no shampoo in the room, and the bed spread wasn't so nice (we usually stay at Marriott's, so we have gotten used to the white down comforters). The front desk actually closes at night, and when we called for a wake up call, they said they don't do that, that we should just set our alarm clock. Well gee thanks. Also, when we were checking out at 4:30 am to get to our flight, we had to call the woman in the office to get her to come get our key since the front desk was closed. If they are going to close the front desk, at least have a key drop box.

Overall, I might stay here again for one night, but not for a long stay. We stay in residence inn a lot for business, and they are much better.

We had never stayed in an efficiency suite before in the US but booked this because we had trouble finding reasonably priced accommodation in New Orleans at a weekend at short notice.

While the suites are not in the city centre, they are easily accessible by car in about 20-30 minutes and are just off I10. Despite this, no traffic noise due to good windows.

Rooms were clean comfortable and everything in the kitchenette worked, staff were friendly.

Excellent value so near a tourist centre.
