This sprawling historic property extends from its entrance on the busiest commercial street of the Old Town to a quiet brick-floored courtyard in back. It was once a trio of 19th-century warehouses. Today it evokes a miniature village in Louisiana, with a central square, a fountain, and landscaped shrubs basking in the sunlight. Units include rather standard hotel rooms, suites, and duplex arrangements with sleeping lofts. Throughout, the decor is American country, with pine floors and lots of Colonial accents. Some rooms have fireplaces, and most retain the massive timbers and brick walls of the original warehouses. The staff is usually polite and helpful, but because the hotel hosts many small conventions, they may be preoccupied with the demands of whatever group happens to be checking in or out. A full or continental breakfast is available each morning.
