Thank you for sharing your result with the board.

I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOT.WIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

For future searches/bookings you can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our Bidding.Helper and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOT.WIRE (or use the HOT.WIRE tab at Bidding.Helper) and...

· click the offer

· on the next page click the BOOK NOW link

· in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

Enjoy your stay.

This is a fantastic hotel, and arguably the best location in NoLa.

 

There's a great restaurant just below called Red Fish Grill (I think), and they have a jazz bar/lounge in the building that has great music.  

 

The pool cannot be beat for the area, and you're both on Bourbon and just off canal.  Try to request a room that is away from Bourbon, although I don't remember noise being a factor since it's the beginning of the street.

 

Great move is to contact them ahead of time and say "I know we used hotwire, but my wife is pregnant", or some excuse wherein they're sympathetic.  

 

Cheers.
