My husband and I stayed at Canal Express Studios for a long weekend October 7 - 11 and had a great experience. The experience is more like an Airbnb than a hotel. We were sent instructions on how to check in 24 hours prior to arrival.( Doors are all key padded) We were assigned room 201 with the entrance immediately off the porch. The entire place is a renovated old house. The room was large and clean with updated decor. The airconditioner worked great. A refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, coffee creamer, sugar, mugs, hairdryer, towels, soap, shampoo and body wash were all provided. The room had a smart tv with access to many free channels such as redbox, crackle and peacock and also others such as Netflix and Prime that you could sign into. There is a laundry in the basement for use. The location is approximately 2.5 miles from the French quarter with the street car ($3 per day unlimited rides) easily accessible from both corners (Hennessey and Murat) and stops every 15-20 minutes. There are some great restaraunts within walking distance (2 blocks) and a Winn Dixie 3.5 blocks away. We felt very safe walking around the neigborhood both during the day and in the evening when returning to our room. The only reason we did not rate this a 5 star is the fact that there was only ever luke warm water to the sink and shawer, never hot. We believe this is due to this particular room possibly being at the end of the line because it took quite awhile for the water to reach the luke warm status. We would return and stay here again!
