My stay at the Magnolia Mansion was a mix of charm and some disappointments. The building exudes historical beauty, and I enjoyed the unique ambiance of my room, but I encountered issues with cleanliness and the breakfast situation. While the location is perfect for exploring New Orleans, the room décor could use some updating and attention to detail.
