The Natchez promises an upscale alternative to hotels a short walk from the French Quarter. It is easy to get to the Quarter. Located on an alley-like street, The Natchez looks pretty good but on closer inspection the construction is cheap and maintenance a bit neglected. Light bulbs burned out, doors on cabinets not hung evenly, a storage area by the pool lacking a door, and little odds and ends that weren't quite right. It makes you wonder how "long in the tooth" it will look in a year or so. Noise between floors can be significant. The staff is great and attentive. The rooms were clean. When paying almost $1000 a night for a 3 bedroom, one just hopes for more from the finishes, furniture, etc.
