Vacanze Ingleside

Great location within easy walking distance to the center of the Quarter and Frenchman St. Excellent, pleasant staff.

First - I am a well traveled global road warrior - who spent years on the road and even slept in the ground (infantry grunt). I am hard to displease... Though I have never been in the French Quarter - or to NOLA at all for that matter - so I was not sure what to expect. The hotel is aged, locked up tight - and reasonable for the price. It was nice to have parking around the corner in a good spot. The proximity to a coffee shop right across the street is also noteworthy! I was in Room #8. I had an 'upgraded' room so I could sit on the balcony. To get out there, you had to lift giant bay windows and duck underneath the opened pair to access. It worked - but it wasn't what I expected. The street was incredibly noisy - the window seal (door?) doesn't seal very well so noise is a big issue. Cars, boomboxes on bicycles, and drunk 'patrons' strolling the streets made for a restless night. I was NOT happy with the bathroom. The toilet is in a closet that is no wider than my shoulders - literally. knees against the wall and shoulders touching the walls results in a very, very, VERY inefficient space for taking care of business. There is not enough room to - - - - 'do whatcha gotta do'. The shower required some navigation - the balance of the dual-dial system took some care and attempts to get the hot water to actually flow. Beyond these issues, the rest was unremarkable. Would I go back? Perhaps - but not that room. Experience was - meh.

Ampia camera con letto king e balcone in antica costruzione tipica del quartiere francese, posizione strategica! Personale gentile e disponibile. Consigliato!
