Outdoor courtyard with swimming pool
Cons

“Hotel St. Helene's prime location in New Orleans is definitely a plus. However, its setup leans more toward an Airbnb, and previous guests have reported maintenance and security issues. If you are looking for a traditional hotel experience, this may not be the best fit.”
