Exquisite Boutique Hotel
Stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute. Gym was fantastic, food delightful and bed super comfy. Very eclectic and a great change of pace from the norm. All of the staff was super accommodating especially Payton (not sure of the spelling). Lobby has a great New Orleans vibe!
