Hotel Villa Convento

The property is very New Orleans. It is a little dated but it fits with the theme and area. Was our room perfect, no but it was wonderful. The balcony view was great and the little coffee shop across the street was perfect. We were able to walk around half of the city doing a virtual lead ghost tour and utilize the street cars for the rest of the city. We are locals so this was just a little mini vacay in our city to play tourist. It was wonderful. Warren was so helpful and took care of us. He helped me with parking and made sure I had a fridge in my room. The inner courtyard was great and we ended up hanging out with some other guests for about an hour.

It could do with some updating and some things fixed but a few minor things did not make our stay any less wonderful.

The staff was absolutely! Very friendly, willing to give information about the area and just all around pleasant to talk to! The information book in the room had some interesting information as well as good suggestions of things to do in the area.

My only complaint at all is that the parking is about five blocks from the hotel and there is only one key to the garage. We had two cars with us, so we checked in unloaded our cars, picked up the key, drove to the garage to park, locked the garage and walked several blocks back to return the key before we could start adventuring. I will say though all of the other hotels we looked at were charging around $40 for parking so I have to say i'd rather walk than pay that just to park my car.
