Comfortable Rooms Near All Nola Hot Spots

I paid nearly $800 (including taxes and fees) for a three-night stay in this old house that's been converted to what is effectively a hostel. Each room has a king bed and a bathroom but that's about the only hotel features it has. I didn't even have soap in my room and the bathroom doorknob was falling apart to the point where I had to remove it entirely or risk getting stuck. The building is entirely unattended (no employees at all -- you get in and out with codes). That in itself is creepy because it's not an air bnb -- it's a hotel, with many guests, some of whom are gonna be drunk and disorderly because it's New Orleans. I got a dark basement room even though the rooms advertised -- and what I thought I was paying for -- were all nice-looking spaces on higher floors. All of this would be more than forgivable if the price weren't -- at least in my case - $250 a night. That price is sort of hidden -- rooms are officially advertised for as low as $80 a night but you'll see once they add taxes and fees that it quickly jumps to over $200, and in my case more. But if you look at hotels in New Orleans advertised at like $150 a night, taxes and fees bring them up to less than that. So it's a type of bait and switch. There are a number of basic but normal hotels in New Orleans I could have stayed at for $250 a night. So I was dumb and fell for this bait and switch thinking I was getting the cheapest thing I could. The owner company, Hosteeva, it's the kind of operation that, if you read the reviews of their air bnb's, seems to exist to squeeze as much money out of you as possible while giving you as little as possible. So unless you can somehow get these rooms for much less than I did, I'd steer clear.

It was just a room nothing special. It's in an older house so the walls are thin you can here your neighbor's. We were there for the Bayou Classic so it was convenient and reasonably priced. Its close to the trolley which was nice getting to and from Canal street.

Lovely room, nice cozy bed with microwave coffee pot and fridge. Beautifully appointed. Could have used a chair or love seat to sit on while watching TV instead of having to sit or lay on the bed. Close to public tram and restaurants. Loved our stay.
