Cute, but not perfect.

The Cornstalk was everything we thought it was. The help was nice, the room was quaint and it was darn close to EVERYTHING the big easy has to offer in the Quarter. However, we had some problems with the reservation -- when we got to the hotel someone had thrown away our details and the hotel had been over-booked. We were nearly out of luck and without a place to stay (at 11pm! when our flight landed), but fortunately the night clerk had a last minute cancellation and we got a room. Phew. Oh, the other two things to note: 1) thin walls (you can hear the street sounds and your fellow hotel guests) 2) the "breakfast" consists of fried cornbread and coffee -- not exactly the Continental breakfast some of us are accustomed to.
Even with the complaints I mentioned, we're going to stay there again this year. It's charming and memorable.
