St Charles Coach House, Ascend Hotel Collection

I simply must commend the management on their groundbreaking, complimentary wellness program. I am speaking, of course, about the 7:00 AM sharp, full-sensory wake-up call delivered by what I can only assume is a highly skilled and dedicated construction crew next door. There is no gentle, progressive increase in volume here; oh no. This is a symphony of pile drivers and steel beam placement, a percussive masterpiece that begins precisely as the clock strikes seven. It's an involuntary alarm clock of the highest caliber, rendering the old-fashioned method of calling reception completely obsolete. Why rely on technology when you can be roused by the very vibrations of progress? Frankly, I see this as a profound commitment to guest health. It is far too easy on vacation to let one’s circadian rhythm fall into disarray, leading to lethargy and jet lag. This establishment has solved that problem. The daily, unmissable construction ensures you are up with the sun, ready to seize the day, your internal clock perfectly recalibrated. It’s a health feature I didn't even know I was paying for! And I must applaud the architectural decision to forgo any modern sound-dampening like double or triple glazed windows. This was a deliberate and brilliant choice. To muffle the sound would be to hide a vital truth: every home, every hotel, every structure was built at some point in time. This daily reminder of the raw, noisy, and essential act of construction is a humbling experience. It grounds you. It reminds you that comfort is built upon a foundation of sheer, unadulterated noise. The best part? The element of surprise. I truly appreciate not being told about this in advance. It would have ruined the magic! Discovering this immersive amenity on my own felt like finding a secret, albeit very loud, feature. And from the looks of the multi-story framework going up next door, this is an early-stage project. That means this exclusive, rejuvenating experience will be available for many, many months to come. Future guests have so much to look forward to! So thank you. Thank you for the sleep-shattering, rhythm-resetting, philosophically profound experience. I haven't felt this awake and aware of the building process since, well, ever. An absolute must for anyone who hates sleeping in and loves a good, honest reminder about the origins of a high-rise.

Always a pleasure staying at this hotel. Location and parking space is always great. Staff is always giving a welcome greeting. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Hotel is clean and always smelling fresh

I am not sure why this hotel is rated as a 3 star property. They offer none of the amenities that I could get at a basic 2 star budget hotel. There is no breakfast of any kind offered here. Be prepared to hunt around for a decent breakfast spot in the area or settle for the deli down the street. It will be even more annoying because they have an entire bar/lounge area that will be closed and gated for "special events only" although I did not see a single "special event" happening there. So the amenities are closed off to the actual paying guests. Coffee is available in a converted closet space by the elevator with a couple of thermoses. It will not be available after a certain time of day, they will tell you to use the filthy Keurig in your room. Bring your own mugs and glasses. When I checked in, one of the glasses was crusted over with a thick white liquid from whoever used it last. The mug had a layer of dust in it. Bring some flip-flops for the shower (yep, just like a college dorm). My shower was stained with dirt and the drains were disgusting. The sink drain detached and had hairball in it (not my hair). To get to the French Quarter you will either need to ride the streetcar or walk for 20 minutes (including under a sketchy freeway overpass). Bring your own toiletries. If you are lucky and the shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers in the showers aren't already empty, know you will be sharing the soap with everyone else that stayed in that room. The dispensers may look crusty and have hair on them, too. Don't look in the closet in your hotel room. That is where all the dust bunnies live. Don't ask to speak to the manager about anything. You will never hear from him at all no matter how politely you ask. Also, I have better quality bath towels in my own home. Should've brought 'em, too.

This place is clean, well decorated and a great location. The beds have loads of pillows, great blankets and plenty of room. The room is decorated well, clean and had a couch as well as two queen beds. Parking onsite. Absorbent thick towels. Very tall shower head with great water pressure and loads of hot water. Shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner supplied that smells great. Q-tips, lotion and cottonballs provided. Ear plugs provided in the lobby if you have someone who snores with you. Full length mirror, TV and cold AC. Friendly staff that are quick to help. I am very pleased we book our stay here. They have added so many small but significant details to make our stay great. The beds weren’t as soft as I would like but everything else was spot on! Stay here for sure!

We loved the accessibility of the location of this hotel! The area was so close to Magazine street and street cars and 10-15 walk to fun delis and cafes and shops. The staff was friendly and the rooms clean and spacious. I would absolutely stay here again. They had little snacks and water in the lobby. Our five year old loved playing with the chess pieces in the lobby at the couch.

A very conveniently placed hotel place near the 12 Street car.They have fair prices and offer free parking. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is a first-time stay.

Hotel was decorated nicely! Had lots of amenities and even had free parking that was secured each night. Easy trolley access right across the street. Staff went above and beyond! Would definitely stay here again.
