First impressions.
Hotel seems to have its own platforms for viewing the Mardi Grass parades and festivities.

S/O: "when you told me that we were reliving our New Orlčans courting days i had expected you'd do a bit more effort, this hotel is more than acceptable but is dark, dated and desperate needing a refurb. It is clear that the owners want to invest 0". An image says it all.
It does add up to the charm.....
Neither are perpendicular.
By internal family whatsapp with more photos that i will soon post here in the review:
H1jr: "sure it ain't the Overlook hotel ?"
H2jr: "it will take a lot and even more effort to make sure romance isn't dead"
Actually it's all fine, the hotel did decorate our room a bit in a romance theme and there was an enticing welcome amenity. Staff is polite and very laid back and not pretentious at all. But this is defenitely one of those golden very oldies Intercontinentals. For folks who've been around longer, think the ex-Intercontinental Yorkville Toronto. I'll keep y'all updated but it is a blast from the past.
