The staff member (woman) who greeted us showed none of the southern charm we hear so much about. We felt like we were a burden during check-in. We saw her one other time, and she didn't ask how things were going, and walked away from the desk when we walked toward her w a question. She was not present when we checked out. Aside from the blasting AC--joy to our northern ears--we were really disappointed with our room (the one at the top of the stairs in the main building) and generally underwhelmed w the hotel experience. Upon closer inspection you see that the hotel is shabby and in need of some attention. The issues w our room included: the dresser drawers having improperly long bolts/screws which snagged clothes multiple times, nearly ripping items. The room didn't look clean; stained carpet, as well as areas of carpet w water damage, as the AC unit dripped nonstop. It's safe to assume the staff is aware of the problem, as there is noticeable staining on the wall under the drip. All of this extra moisture left the carpet soggy under the AC vent, and the room smelling musty. There were stains from, god only knows what, over our bed. And the cherry on the cake was the cockroach we saw running around our bathroom on our last night. We've stayed in loads of hotels in the south and have yet to have had that happen. The one saving grace was the kind cook. Suffice to say we won't be going back.

This is a terrible way to run a business and I will never go back and never recommend it to anyone.

Stay in the main building. If you room faces the street, you will not hear the bar. The elevator is an antique and must have the reception come run it for you. The stairs make you feel you are in a fabulous time warp. Also the 12' ceilings, giant windows, and excellent period architectural details. It also really looks the part for the ghost rumor we heard. Downstairs with lobby entrances are a bar and an Indian restaurant. The exit out back through a very New Orleanian crumbly terrace was packed with people from 6pm on. You can walk all over from here but must like shabby chic and Southern friendliness. Our AC worked fine, room was old and clean, plenty of towels, toiletries and breakfast. It reminded us of shabby fabulous places in NYC and New Orleans. And, a surprising bargain (2bed room + breakfast + downtown parking= $78.) for the center of town.

I had booked a handicap accessible room and was surprised to be given one on the 2nd floor, requiring us to use the elevator. The room was a disappointment.

There was one crowded nightstand between the beds that had a tangle of cords on the floor leaving no room for us. A handicap accessible room should make travel easier not even harder than it already is. All this being said, the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful! We always stay at Hilton hotels.

The morning breakfast was very satisfactory with a few premade breakfast sandwiches as well as Scrambled eggs ,pork sausage, waffles oatmeal assorted breads as well as fruit.

I asked the young girl at the desk how old the unit was and she said she did not know but she followed up on it and gave me the information in the breakfast area a few minutes later. As a sidenote, when I checked in I asked if room upgrades were available since I am a Marriott gold elite member and the manager said since I had booked with points I was not eligible for an upgrade. I inquired how much my room would be if I was paying cash as I might then do that in order to get the upgrade but the price he gave me of $175 was more than I was willing to pay so I stuck with the original booking
