I had a wonderful stay at the NOPSI for the first week of Jazz Fest. The hotel is lovely and has an interesting history as the place where people went to pay their electric bills. I loved the historic lobby. Kevin, the man at the door, knew so much about the history of the neighborhood! The staff members at the front desk were so friendly, helpful, and kind!
The rooms are very comfortable and well-appointed. Hotel staff is very responsive to requests. Good water pressure, nice towels, and a fridge for those leftovers from the excellent restaurants in the area. The on-site restaurant and bar (with coffee drinks in the morning) were good. The rooftop pool was a delightful place to cool off.
The NOPSI is a short walk to the French Quarter and excellent restaurants in the CBD. We walked about 6 blocks to and from the Jazz Fest shuttle, and felt safe along the way in both day and night times.
I will definitely return to the NOPSI. I'm so glad I found this hotel in New Orleans!
