There’s a gate for the parking lot and you’re assigned to a parking spot according to your room number which is easy and simple. The rooms are very clean and have very comfortable beds with plenty of pillows which I love. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and all over we enjoyed our stay here! 100/10

It was quiet. The bed itself was very comfortable.

Pay close attention when booking. Not all of the rooms come with gated parking, and it is an additional expense. Also, the pillows weren't very comfortable.

The motel has simple, very clean, very well-kept up rooms.

We did not realize that we had not paid for the locked and gated parking on site ahead of time. We paid upon arrival.

Nice spot. Love the parking spot. Nice and cozy and clean. Love the keyless entry and check in/out. I will definitely be back. Thanks.

Top location and friendly dedicated manager and owner. Everything newly renovated and clean and functional.

Unfortunately we had very noisy and active guests above us who always came home at night and spent ages moving furniture. Maybe install insulation, carpet and furniture felts. The whole good experience was ruined by these guests. The cleaning staff come in fours for the few rooms, talk loudly and are too lazy to open the doors again after they close automatically. So the door bolt is pushed in between, banging loudly against the frame every few seconds as they go in and out. The frame is already damaged as a result. For hours. The cleaning staff show absolutely no consideration, do not greet guests and look at them grimly. After complaining, one night was credited because we left early due to the noise.

We booked a room here because it had gated parking. Right after the booking went through, we received an email saying in bold letters that our car would be towed if we parked in the lot! I wrote them on Booking, emailed, and also texted. After an hour with no reply, I finally called, and Cindy answered the phone. She said we could park inside no problem. She also said that there might be a problem with the automated system. Once we arrived, we saw that every room is assigned one parking spot… except for room number two. Unfortunately, our email with the room code also came up blank for that value. Again, Cindy to the rescue, who gave us the room code. Also, we got a gate code for the pedestrian gate, but did not get one for the car gate. Again, Cindy helped with that. If she had not been there, it simply would not have worked out. On the positive, this hotel is right next to the freeway, so we were able to exit the freeway, park our car inside, and then ride our bikes to town - which is a much easier way to get around New Orleans. The hotel is only two blocks from bike paths! Inside the room we had some quirks like the bathroom doors not closing, toilet being difficult to flush, and we never got the Wi-Fi to connect on either of our phones. Apart from that, though, the room has a big window and was clean enough. I think that of this hotel fixes their automated response, fixes their listing for consistency (in some places it says parking is included; in others not), and if they do a better job responding to digital correspondence, it would have potential to be good.
