This place is gorgeous! Five star! Any positive or ok review was definitely not written by the hotel, a customer wrote it. This is the least disgusting place I have ever seen. It is not a scam at all. They didn't lure us in with fake hotel photos. Then we signed up and after we saw (how awesome) the room... More

perhaps not for a tourist. Great for people who want to save their money for things other than their hotel. Yes, the rooms are funny with their super- high- up- tiny- television and hanging space heater and the beds are kind of small for two people. Actually, there is no view or any reason really to hang around in your... More

This hotel if you would call it one was AWEFUL the rooms are not fit for stray animals. The night we stayed, it was ROBBED! Yes thats what I said. Not safe, not clean, very loud and inconciderate guest. Nice employees, I feel for the employees, but they need employment too. Think twice before staying at this "hotel"..... More

My boyfriend and I were in town for the Essence Music Festival and selected the selected the empress hotel for the great cost and close proximity to the french quarter (just a two block walk). I have read reviews prior to making reservations, but the nightly rate was too good for me to pass up. We arrive, the exterior looked... More
