Stayed one night with my 16 year old. Couldn’t contact staff before 10am which made it tricky to leave bags in the morning. When we collected bags later we were going to sit for a minute and have a coke but were asked to leave as my daughter is under age 18.

The hotel was dirty and smelly. The ‘en-suite’ bathroom was literally a prefabricated cube in the corner of the room with a step up to it. The stairs up to the rooms looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. The room smelled so bad I looked for an alternative but due to Mardi Gras there was either no availability or prices were extortionate. I don’t understand how some people have rated this hotel 10/10. They clearly didn’t stay here or have extremely low standards.

The bed was comfy and room was clean, the staff were friendly and helped store bags pre check in and post check out. It's a cheap inner city place so didn't expect much and while climbing two flights of stairs with my bags was hard I could tell the others checking in hated it so much more.
