I originally booked this room for 4 days, and I was ready to leave....and did, in one.
Problems:
1) In other studio 6's, you can park your car next to door of room to unpack/repack your car. Here you must enter with all your stuff thru the lobby and down the hall to room. Lots of work when you have a cooler/dog etc.
2) The rooms smell. Not their fault, mostly from Katrina flooding. Smells strongly of must/mildew, or cigarette smoke (even nonsmoking rooms)....and I tried a bunch of rooms. The smell was so bad I didn't want to touch anything, everything seems dirty although it looked OK. They even have nice new granite counter tops.
3) Lots of large groups of construction crews stay here, not very conducive to a wholesome,homey feel.
4) I have a dog, I sympathize with how difficult it must be to keep things smelling good, but I swore the hallways smelled like dog duty.
5) I was traveling with my dog and the areas to allow her to go to the bathroom in were awful, so full of dog poop you couldn't walk into them. And the smell, forget about it! I realize some people don't pick up after their pets but the staff should make an attempt to clean the grounds up every once in a while.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I feel bad for their situation, with the flooding and all what can they do. I would recommend ripping out all the carpeting!
I ended up leaving early and renting a condo in the city, immaculately clean and odor free. I absolutely loved the rest of my stay and look forward to going again.
