It's a historic hotel, therefore you will find short runs of steps and hookedy-crookedy hallways, which I thought added to its charm. There was an elevator and it always arrived promptly. No breakfast area--you order from a menu of cold options (toast, pastry, muffins, hard boiled egg, various cerials, yogurt, coffee, juices, and milk and your breakfast is delivered to your room within the 30 minute time frame you specifiy. Bed was very comfortable. Blinds and curtains on windows so you could manage how much light you wanted to come into the room. My suite on the third floor (336) faced King Street, had a fireplace. sitting area, table and chairs and a very nice bathroom with plenty of hot water and a small refrigerator. No microwave. Expensive but all the French Quarter hotels are, some "very very." This was a nice place and I would go back.
