Axel's take: 8.3/10

A strong downtown base for apartment space, less convincing for quiet or luxury. a downtown apartment hotel with full kitchens and in-suite laundry, scored for what it is.

California Building is an apartment hotel rather than a conventional luxury four-star, and we'd choose it for space and practicality. Full kitchens, in-suite laundry and separate living areas make it a strong pick for families or longer stays. Booking.com and Expedia guests broadly praise cleanliness, helpful staff and the walkable location near the French Quarter and Superdome. A gym, game room and rooftop terrace round out the offer.

The main compromise is noise: street traffic comes up across review sites, including on higher floors. Some guests also describe worn furnishings, so don't expect every apartment to match the polished marketing. Parking costs extra, online registration is required and checkout is at 10 a.m. We'd skip it if soundproofing or consistently upscale interiors matter more than having room to spread out.

• Best for: families wanting separate living space; longer stays with cooking and laundry; downtown sightseeing and Superdome trips

• Watch out for: street noise, even on higher floors; variable furnishing condition; paid parking and 10 a.m. checkout

• Location: Walkable to the French Quarter and Superdome, with public transport close by.

• Rooms: Spacious apartments with kitchens and laundry; some guests report tired furnishings.

• Cleanliness: A clear strength overall in Booking.com and Expedia guest feedback.

• Service: Staff generally earn praise; a staffed front desk supports access-code entry.

• Amenities: Gym, game room and rooftop terrace; the official site lists Louie Lounge as coming soon.

• Fees and surprises: Parking is extra; pre-arrival online registration and photo ID are required, with checkout at 10 a.m.
