Excellent staff. Place is a little rundown but it quiet and close to everything. The price was fair too. read more

Want to start off by saying Ray the maintenance tech was wonderful, quick, and very kind. Our microwave wasn't working when he arrived, and he came up immediately to troubleshoot and brought a new one! He also helped us get the heat working so the bathroom was very cozy. Definitely an older property, they're time shares not a true hotel and definitely needs some updates. I do like the two bedroom option but they're both pretty small (and one doesn't have a real closing door). having a kitchenette is nice and they do provide coffee. When parking, an employee was parked in our assigned spot, and our room wasn't ready during check in time. I wish they had a bigger lot, there's a paid lot but pricing is outrageous ($56/13hrs). It is conveniently located near lots of restaurants, shops, etc so we were able to walk around. That being said it is affordable but honestly I'd rather pay more next time to be somewhere nicer read more

This review is for a suite. Sink = clogged. Shower = scalding or freezing / old gross rubber shower mat. Toilet = black ring around the water line / TP dispenser so far from toilet you can't reach it. Carpet = dirty / wrinkled / should've been replaced years ago. Request for late checkout = go fuck yourself. Kitchenette had no utensils = oh wait they are in living room under the TV that didn't have WIFI. Microwave = only turned on with popcorn setting. I could go on but feel I like that is good though to justify my rating for this hotel. There is one redeeming factor is with a room like this, you are forcefully pushed into adverturing out into the French/Marigny neighborhood to enjoy the history/people/ nightlife. We will come back, but not to this hotel. read more

I have a long list of grievances for this hotel. It started with giving us the wrong room key and we walked into someone else's room! Once we actually had our room, it was a week of being hot and overheated. I get that it's Louisiana in the summer, but our AC was running constantly and would still sit at 74-75 deg making it much too hot to sleep. On top of that, NO cold water in the showers! One knob is hot and the other knob is hotter. So much for taking a cold shower to cool off. Wading pool was down for repairs so couldn't use that to cool off either. Furniture was old and outdated with much of it having scuffs and rips. Cabinets were all scratched up. Oh we had to pay $170 to park for the week too since the parking is first come first serve! They should at least reserve spots by room for certain guests instead of just crossing your fingers when you get here. During one of our days, maintenance walked right in while I was sitting on the couch! Didn't even bother knocking! Thank goodness I was decent. He apologized and said he had the wrong room. Still totally unacceptable to not announce or knock that he was going to enter for this exact reason. read more

This was my 2nd time staying at Hotel De La Monnaie. I have to start my review by acknowledging their top tier customer service with a special shout out to Susan and De'Quanna! I came in from San Diego and my friend in Atlanta said she wanted to meet me there. I called and spoke with De'Quanna, and with ease I was able to add my friend to my reservation no issues at all. I called again to make sure a late arrival would be ok, De'Quanna was probably tired of my a$$ haha but assured me they have 24 hour check in time and Susan would be there when I check in. I arrived and immediately recognized Susan from my last visit (so glad you decided to return). She always has a smile, asks you if you need anything, has plenty of recommendations on things to do, and most importantly she pinned me with some dollars for my birthday and told me to wear it all day and it will multiply (it did). Now that's what I call going above and beyond and making your guests feel welcome! I just love this city! Now Hotel de La Monnaie is an older hotel but has lots of character. I stay here because of the customer service and the location convenience. It is walking distance to French Market, Frenchman st, French Quarters, Street Car line and even Bourbon St. My lil posse even walked to the Casino. Mind you, both times I've been to NOLA has been in August. There's nothing better than coming back to Hotel De La Monnaie after walking in that heat, open that front door and BABY.. they have that AC just blasting. Now unfortunately our room AC was not on that level at all but it was doable. They've upgraded the rooms with wood (laminate) flooring and new carpet in bedroom. A much needed improvement. I had a very roomy two bedroom suite which also has a kitchenette area, mini fridge two burner stove and microwave to heat up them left overs. I can only base my review of course on my experiences. Both times Ive stayed, my room wasn't bad at all. Does this hotel need more improvements absolutely. From the reviews I've read, not all rooms are designed or shaped the same. I lucked out I guess. The Cons- the parking. It's slim to none. They have an extremely small garage, and most of the spots are reserved for the time share owners (yes it's a time share place) the other spots are on a first come basis. Thanks to Susan and De'Quanna, we got a spot, and didn't move the car the whole trip. We used Uber/Lyft or street car to get around or walked. Other Con- it's the South, I get that.. but 2nd day we had a few extra "guests" in our room. I won't go into detail but Steve took care of us, and the guests didn't return. All and All I like this place, and best believe I will be back!! Thanks again Hotel de La Monnaie Staff you guys are the best!! read more

perfect location, close to French Market, new Mississippi River park and the music center on Frenchmen street. staff were friendly and helpful. any trips they could arrange with pickup at the hotel. ambience was a laid back french quarter style. recommend having time to sit and enjoy second floor balcony to listen to music and people watch on Esplanade. read more

Great location and pretty nice facilities and plenty of room BUT.....you will be lucky to get to use the free parking garage. Limited space and very tight if you do get in. Very noisy and hard to sleep between the traffic noice, music from Frenchman and especially the train! read more

If you plan on checking in on time know that the time the their website says check in is which is 3, the time the confirmation sent, which is 3 is apparently wrong. You will be twiddling your thumbs for an hour in the lobby and if you point it out, your wrong. Aside from that hassle it's a great location. If you can sleep over the train noise across the street. And don't mind everything in your room being extra 'vintage'. ...and if you are one of the first 5 people who can take advantage of the free parking....but yeah, aside from all that it's ok read more

Hotel De La Monnaie - Proof - Hotels Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Nice hotel on the Esplanade side of town. Like most of the older structures in the French Quarter, the building is dated which isn't a problem. But it could also use some maintenance. The main issue for the review is location. The Quarter has gotten pretty rough over the 30 years I've been coming there. I'll still visit, but not likely to continue at these older places in less desirable parts of town. read more

*Disappointing Stay at Hotel de la Monnaire* *** I was told that I would be contacted about the following concerns. NEVER was I contacted personally as I was told by the manager/assistant manager. This hotel only cares about commenting so they appear to care about their customers. My partner and I have been loyal guests at Hotel de la Monnaire in New Orleans for over six years, but our latest stay was a letdown due to the unaccommodating front desk clerk. We encountered several issues, including a hassle about parking our car in the garage multiple times. When we requested a 30-minute late checkout, we were flat-out told no without any consideration. This was surprising, especially since late checkouts are usually readily available, particularly on Sundays when the hotel is less busy. Unfortunately, the clerk's rudeness and unprofessionalism have led us to decide that we will no longer stay at Hotel de la Monnaire. As frequent guests, we expect a certain level of hospitality, which was sorely lacking during our recent visit. It's disappointing to see a hotel we once loved fall short of our expectations. read more

Amazing location in between Frenchman St and the Quarter. You can stroll everywhere. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly. They should fix the broken front door, and the amenities were a little out of date. You won't get daily room service, but the character of this establishment makes you forget about it. Thanks for a lovely weekend stay. read more

Hotel De La Monnaie - Front of hotel. - Hotels Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We booked this hotel solely on the premise that they had free parking. When we checked in, they informed us they had limited parking and it was first come first serve.... Unless you're an owner (apparently you can buy a unit?) They get first priority in the parking garage, so the free parking option that you may also be expecting, might not exist for you as it did for us a couple days of our trip. Some good: it's close to the water front, close to a bunch of local bars and restaurants. And nothing seems to be more than 2 miles away in the French quarter (which we walked) It's a few blocks away from the R bar (aka the true tone bar depicted in NCIS New Orleans.) More not so good: the rooms are tiny, I think they only have queen beds available, and a dresser of some kind in the bedroom that we managed to stub toes on trying to squeeze in between that and the bed. More good: mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, TVs in both rooms. They have a nice balcony, but unfortunately they aren't private, and other guests were making a lot of noise right outside our door as we were trying to sleep. I don't t know that we'd stay there again if we went back. read more

Stayed here last weekend. Won't be staying again. We were told that our room would be ready by 3:00 but weren't able to get in until shortly after 5:00. Once we got into our room, we found that while the location is fantastic, the room was old and dingy, furniture was very used and the whole place smelled strongly of mold, The blinds were flimsy and you couldn't close them. The bathroom had a shower with limited hot water. Bed and sofa bed were not comfortable at all. We pulled a blanket out of the closet to put on the make out sofa and there were awful stains that looked really fresh. When we asked for a replacement, they were kind enough to bring us one. Ac worked fine but if it was off, the music and noise from Frenchman's street kept us awake. Recommendation is to not get dazed by the location.....look elsewhere. read more

Well, Well what a great location! HDLM is close to so many places such as Frenchmen St (https://www.neworleans.com/plan/streets/frenchmen-street/) read up on the history of it, as well as the famed Jackson Square and Cafe du Monde'. Nothing like walking the area of Marigny (Mar-un-Knee) to see the vintage and quaint houses, some which have tours or open houses avaiable. While many of the places have food and music, I suggest breakfast at least once be had at the Ruby Slipper Cafe (www.rubybrunch.com), and a lunch or dinner at Marigny Brasserie (www.marignybrasserie.com). As this is a rare location in NOLA, it is having unit upgrades done now through end of 2023. Give it a look or consider a 3 night stay to find your own vibe and fun. https://hdlmsale.square.site/ read more

The lobby and outside are really cool and unique. Great location in the French quarter. The staff is very friendly, and they offer free parking. I thought I was getting a STEAL for $80 a night, but I won't pay for this room again. The room smells like mildew, the comforter has to be at least 20 years old. The TVs are mounted sideways, all of the furniture looks like it was preowned by someone's grandparents, the water pressure is practically non-existent, there was no maid service that came and cleaned the room and bring fresh towels during the day, and that's not even the worst of it. Yelp won't let me post a video but there is a loud knocking noise that comes from the ceiling periodically, and when it does it lasts for ~15 minutes, which includes at 4am. I'm currently sitting on the 1950 Sears magazine couch that smells like mold and vomit while I write this. I will spend the extra money next time to stay in a nicer place. read more

The only reason I'm posting a less favorable review is because I believe a lot of the rave reviews on Yelp/Google are by part owners who want to boost business. (Disclaimer: I could be wrong, just my sense.) There are a lot of posters at the hotel advertising that it is a timeshare, which we didn't know going in. And that might be fine except it is a very run down, far from ideal place to stay. I unfortunately got duped by the aforementioned high reviews. The room was dingy, smelled strongly of mold, had bent flimsy black blinds, a shower with limited hot water, and one of the creakiest, most rickety beds I've ever slept on. I'm not too picky about hotels/motels in general, but the room really gave me an uncomfortable vibe. I do give them props for having a decent (though loud) air conditioner, satisfactory toiletries, and the towels and bedding seemed clean. Also, the front desk person was pleasant. Great location, so no issues there. In walking distance to many great bars, nightclubs, and eateries. If you don't mind sorta dingy settings and a room that smells like a dive bar, it honestly might be okay for you. Just know what you're getting into first. read more

We had a 2 bedroom suite for a week in 10/23. It looked nothing like the photos on their site. The rooms are very dated. The couch cushions were so old they were hard to get up from because they buckled. The chairs looked like they were from a yard sale, as did the table. The kitchen counter was so tiny, there was no room to put even a cup down. The fridge is tiny. The microwave is newer. The 2 burner stove top had 1 heating element which was popping out. The master bedroom had a very small tv on a dresser behind the door. The mattress was possibly the worst we've ever slept on. Seriously, we were up & down all night each night because our backs (no back problems) were killing us. The 2nd bedroom had no window & was so tiny, only 1 nightstand fit. It was possibly a converted closet. The bed wasn't long enough for an adult & the mattress was equally horrible. The hot water heater for the shower doesn't hold enough for 3 morning showers, at all. It was clean, at least. The staff was helpful, though for booking tours. The location is great, just outside of the French Quarter. We'd stay there again if we got a room which was a whole lot better because the price was good. I'd look for better alternatives first, though. read more

This is a nice hotel located conveniently down the street from all the bars and Frenchman Street. Gets a little loud at night between the train going by and partiers. It's an older building so it's has some wear and tear, but it has a very nice courtyard on the second floor and a balcony. The staff is very friendly, very helpful. Price to stay is very reasonable and we needed a two-bedroom unit. read more

Delilah...Trinell...Susan...Katherine..Steve. These are the names behind the scenes who make the hotel what it is. Delilah saved the day by getting a toy duck that decided to fly from my son's hands to the 3rd story balcony above the terrace, and having it the next day for my daughter. She also included another toy duck she had. My daughter was so happy. The renovations are amazing. No more musty smell. Hardwood/laminate floors, new paint, and furniture make it feel like a better experience. The location of the hotel is phenomenal. Still an older hotel. Some little cleaning of the ceiling vents is needed especially over the bedroom we had. We were considering selling our unit but after this stay we will hold on to it. Thank you to the amazing staff who made our yearly vacation memorable. Can't wait for next year. read more

I'm staying here now. Mask regulations are in effect and I'm all for it. But I forgot to grab one when I went to the garage to get something from my car. It was 8:30 AM, there's hardly anyone at the hotel, and the only person in the lobby was the front desk clerk. She looked up at me and in a very rude voice said, "Ma'am, could put your mask on PLEASE?" As if her tone wasn't bad enough, get this: SHE was not wearing a mask! I told her I was sorry, I had just forgotten to put it on as I went to grab something from my car, and asked why she wasn't wearing one. She didn't respond. Then I asked, "Did you forget yours, too?" Still no response. This is the last time I'll stay at this hotel! read more

My friends and I stayed here at the beginning of February, 2020 (thankfully, right before COVID-19 hit). The rooms have a Mardi Gras feel, with burgundy carpeting, wood furniture, and Mardi Gras artwork. Of our 3 suites, 2 had updated bathrooms with nice vanities and jacuzzi tubs. The other one had an old vanity but had a jacuzzi tub. We didn't eat there at all, but the kitchen had the basics (pots, pans, plates, silverware, a 2-burner stove, coffee maker, and microwave) if we had wanted to. The things I loved: PERFECT location (it's right on the edge of the French Quarter, and next to Frenchman's where all the jazz is happening). Friendly staff. Value for the money... read more

Hotel of the money... Located directly across from the old U.S. Mint in the French Quarter, this hotel is one of my more favorite places to hide away. The rooms are all very nicely done and can be had in a variety of sizes. All (as far as I know) have kitchens and jacuzzi tubs. The gem of this place is the courtyard on the inside - it is complete with a small wading pool, huge palm trees and is nice and shady and a cool spot to get away from that killer heat in the summer. The hotel is located at the eastern edge of the French Quarter so you will be doing some walking to get to Bourbon street and the heart of the action. read more

Sights near the hotel de la Monnaie! My husband and I recently stayed two weeks at two of the units owned by USA Veterans Greg and Roxanne Hall (Nolalola.org) at the hotel de la Monnaie in New Orleans. During our stay we watched the start of the Bayou Classic parade from the second floor balcony. Nightly we walked two blocks and enjoyed live jazz bands and drinks; walked throughout Frenchmen street shops and began our mornings at the tables outside the unit overlooking Esplanade Street. We are also Veterans and Roxanne has been a Godsend as she rents her units to other Veterans's at deeply discounted rates throughout the year. Roxy gave great suggestions on sights to see and the best way to get around. I'm a walker and walked from the hotel all the way to the RiverCenter Mall for a round trip total of 24,263 steps! There are bikes for rental directly outside the hotel as well. These units are in a great location near Frenchmen Street and we were able to park our vehicle in the garage or right in front of the hotel at no charge. Honestly, we rarely used our vehicle with everything being in close proximity. If you are a Veteran or know a Veteran with plans to visit New Orleans, I recommend contacting Roxanne via Facebook Nolalola.org before booking anyplace else. She and Greg have other units near the French Quarters as well. Roxanne cares for Veterans and gives back to Veterans! Thank you for a superb stay in your units owned at the Hotel de la Monnaie Greg and Roxanne Hall, we are greatly appreciative. read more

Cody L's pictures from 2015 are an accurate depiction, including the dated, mismatched furniture, bedding and falling drapes. The AC dripped on my arm all night. The 1990's Vellux blanket was dirty. Walmart comforter (exactly like Cody's 2015 picture), still in use. In this day and age, ALL bedding should be washed between guests. The bed was smaller than queen and shook with the slightest movement. We left the next day and we had been booked for a week. If there's a chance for Hotel Impossible to update this diamond in the rough, I hope they see this post. It was an ICI exchange. Very disappointed. Went to another hotel for the rest of the week. 1 star for location 2nd star for potential. read more

MAJOR ISSUES!!! BE AWARE. The problems I had with this is that the sheets were very unclean, stains everywhere the extra sheet and blanket stained and with human gunk and some goes for the pull out bed. I later found CAMERAS IN THE HOTEL ROOM...AN INVASION OF PRIVACY!!!! I tried to find the policy of this hotel and they are no where to be found meaning they are not telling you where they are. read more

Honestly if I could give 0 stars I would. The lady at the front desk is always so rude and stuck up, we've been coming for a while now because we think the hotel is just so beautiful, but unfortunately I won't be doing any sort of business anymore with them. First off the lady at the front desk told me to just book & pay with Hotels.com(or a different 3rd party) for every night I'd like to extend the room, there was a $50 deposit for each night I had stayed because it was a new reservation each day. The lady said I'd get it back. I stayed (May 14, May 15, May 16, May 17, and May 18) it's been almost a month! I've been calling everywhere trying to get $250 back! NOT TO MENTION they don't do any sort of cleaning your room up, AND IF THEY DO CLEAN YOUR ROOM ITS $10!!??? SO when u called the hotel asking for my deposit she said IT WAS FOR A CLEANING FEE?? $250 for a CLEANING FEE? AFTER YOU SAID ID GET IT BACK? No I had the manager bring me the chemicals and vacuum and I CLEANED THE ROOM MYSELF SO WHAT CLEANING FEE?!! Not worth a dime, they're a scam, when there's thousands of hotels who offer breakfast, upgraded rooms, room service, AND cleaning services for lower. read more

Run! The great reviews are from timeshare people trying to keep their values up. Beds are awful. Rooms are decrepit. Staff is nice, but the place is more a homeless shelter than anywhere to spend time on a vacation. The location is really close to great music and lots of restaurants and fun places so it was not a total loss for us, but we changed rooms three times just to find a place that was neither sickening nor insanely loud at night from the adjacent clubs. This place cannot be redeemed by a makeover- it needs to be torn down. We stayed for free by trading our Covid-closed timeshare in Cabo and I still questioned whether free was good enough to look past this awful place. Truly, I have not stayed in anything worse since college days traveling in the third world. read more

We stayed here through the week of the Saints/Redskins game & Thanksgiving holiday. I've stayed here previously in 1997 and 2008. About the hotel: Location, Location, Location!! It is in the Quarter at the beginning of Esplanade & Elysian Fields. It's a short walk to the start of the Flea Market into the happens inside the FQ. On the hotel side is Frenchman St which has a few bars & restaurants. Most times there are cool bands playing. Buy a drink and/or grab a meal & chill out. Parking is limited inside the hotel (about 22 tight spaces for 50+ rooms). There's parking on the street (good luck) & a private lot behind the hotel for $20 a day. We've been pretty lucky & got a spot every time we took our car out. I found out that Room Owners (people who pay for a week & maintenance fee every year) have the option to park in the garage even if they aren't a guest at the hotel at that time. For example, if they live in NO or surrounding area they park for free while they walk in the Quarter. I get that's a perk but guests who are actually staying at the hotel should get 1st dibs. Inside the hotel: Staff is friendly & attentive if you have questions or issues. The hotel has an open air courtyard. Palm trees and plants give it a southern warm feel. There's an ice machine on each floor. A few rooms don't have their front door towards the balcony. The grounds are clean. The hotels front balcony is a nice place to sit & hang out for a bit. There are a few iron table and chair sets with umbrellas. If you're a smoker, this is where you could go (no smoking inside). Inside the room: **free WiFi We (me, my husband & our 16yr old) had a one bedroom suite. When you walk in it's the living room with a sofa(bed), TV, a compact table that can expand, 4 chairs (1 huge one), a coffee table..etc. I will say it was hard to maneuver around the room with those chairs when the sofa bed was pulled out. I had to figure out how position the BIG chair. Lots of furniture in a little space. My son said the sofa bed was "springy". He felt every spring in the mattress. The blinds on the living room windows were from the 80s/90s.. aluminum. They were bent from people peaking through. Plus, the blinds didn't fit the window completely. Gaps on the side. People can see in even when the blind were closed. No privacy if hanging out or sleeping in living room. We grabbed an extra sheet and put it over the whole window. The kitchenette has a tiny countertop, sink, 2 burners, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge (with tiny iced freezer inside), pots/pans, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils (spatula) plates, bowls, glasses, coffee cups, & dish towels, a bottle of dish soap. The kitchenette was useful in the morning because we cooked breakfast just about every day. The bathroom is average sized..not big but not tiny. You can maneuver around. The one thing I totally disliked was the jacuzzi tub shower combo. It is totally outdated & extremely dangerous to get in and out of. I never used the jacuzzi. I only showered. I'm 5'4, stable on my feet, and have average upper body strength. Getting in & out of this huge jacuzzi tub is a major feat. The tub has a wood frame in front of it & it's tall. There is a hand bar you can grab onto to help get you but it is still unsettling when you are stepping into or exiting something wet. My husband said he almost slipped stepping into the tub. It's a balancing act! The tub needs to be changed/updated immediately. There are seniors that stay here. Not safe at all! The jacuzzi itself has rust around the metal parts inside the tub. The bath handles had soap film on it. Tub isn't an attractive color either (green). Doesn't look good. The bedroom was clean. It has a small TV behind the door, a nice size closet with a safe, dresser, two end table with lamps. Our room was facing Esplanade. We heard everything (cars playing loud music, the horn from trains). I always bring earplugs or a small white noise machine. Also, outlets are limited. Bring extension cords (2-3 depending on guest). Check-out: We wanted to leave the hotel early around 6:00am. When it was time to bring our luggage to our car we couldn't find a luggage cart. The night before there were 3 downstairs (the only 3 they have). My husband asked the hotel clerk where were the carts stored. The clerk said 2 guests came down the night before and took two and never brought them back down. My husband said there should be a policy that people can't keep the cart in their room. Signs should be posted on the cart. The clerk said "yes that's a good idea". Keeping carts is rude and not fair to the other guests. Overall, we had a nice stay. Keep in mind that the hotel is an older one and needs updating. I could've posted more room pics but you can get the gist from other reviewers uploaded pics. I thought maybe the 3rd time as a guest would be a charm (9-11yrs between each visit) but no changes made in the rooms. read more

My cousins & I had a wonderful stay, the location was in the French Quarter & close to everything. Walking distance to French Market, various shops & bars, trolley was across the street. I enjoyed the peace & quiet very much. Very close to Bourbon & Canal Streets where the action is but far enough away to enjoy serenity. The staff was very pleasant & amazing, especially Sade she went above & beyond to make our stay enjoyable & recommended several excellent restaurants. Ariel &Tameka were very helpful as well. The huge terrace was nice to hang out in the evenings. I would stay here again & recommend it to friends & family. read more

We stayed at the Hotel de la Monnaie, Roxanne and Greg Hall's unit 211 last Sunday and Monday. It was wonderful. The unit has everything we needed and more. The entrance is from the courtyard. There is a living room, small galley kitchen, bathroom with shower and jetted tub, and a bedroom with a Queen bed that opens on to the balcony at the front of the building. The location is excelent. It is across the street from the Street Car Line that will take you all along the river. We used it to go to Cafe du Monde and Canal street. It is not far and you can walk if you want to. We got there early and were able to check in early, and also got a parking space in the building. Roxanne was very helpful, and we would definitely recommend this place for a visit to New Orleans. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer. Thanks to Roxanne read more

This is the second time we stayed here (Feb. 11 thru18-2022) because the first time a few years ago was awesome so we decided to return. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful no matter what you ask for at any time of day or night which is exactly how we remembered them from our first trip. The suites (we again had a 2 bdrm) are clean, comfortable and spacious with a fully functioning kitchen so don't believe every crappy bullsh*t review you read. The location is perfect especially for anyone new to discovering the French Quarter because you can't miss anything when you start out from this hotel. This is one of the best kept secrets in NOLA and we will definitely be back. read more

The Hotel de la Monnaie has its pluses and minuses: Pluses: The Hotel sits directly across from the US Mint Museum and diagonally across from the French Market on Esplanade. Technically it is in the Marigny, across the street from the French Quarter. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The hotel also features kitchenettes and free garage parking (on a first-come-first served basis). Minuses: The Hotel rooms vary in size with some being quite tiny. The rooms tend to be dark and in much need of updating. The decor reminds one of a trailer with 1980s style shower curtains, banged up furniture, and a kind of down at the heels feel. The Hotel is relatively inexpensive and has a great location, but expect all the luxury of an old Howard Johnson's. read more

My friend booked this hotel for our 12 person trip to Mardi Gras. I'm not going to lie, we stuffed ourselves in 2 rooms like sardines. But!! There was also a pull-out in both rooms, a kitchen, and a jacuzzi tub in the bathrooms. Plus, it's not like we stayed in that room for all too long. If we did, please call us a bunch of losers. Clean towels, fridge, and no bed bugs. That's all I need. It was a great location. Right in French Quarter and it was nice that it was like 1 block from the French Market. Anybody who's been to the French Market knows it's a fun spot to be at. Plus, the staff was really nice and accommodating. read more

This is a really nice hotel located at the end of Esplanade. I met someone for a modeling gig here and I was really impressed with the place. It has a nice sized lobby right off of Esplanade. The room itself was open to a huge patio, which I thought was lovely. In the room there was a seating area complete with a sofa, chairs and tv. There was a kitchenette with a small fridge, sink, coffee maker and microwave and the bedroom in the back, although small, was nice for what it was. The bathroom was also pretty small, but it wasn't terrible. Friendly staff and pretty easy to park. I think that they even have valet. read more

This place is bad. Not quite as bad as a super 8 in north Minneapolis, but bad. Two stars for the great location. The room immediately smelled dank and musty, like an old dungeon basement from something by Stephen King. Oddly decorated and HIGHLY outdated. The whole room has an awkward feel to it. The TVS are from circa 2001 and seem like more of an afterthought than anything. The website brags of a jacuzzi tub in every room, but there is a sign that apologizes for the small water heater that each unit has. "Plan bath and shower time accordingly". There is 23 parking spots for 53 rooms here. First come, first serve. The staff is friendly and personable in that strange New Orleans way and there are plenty of local bars/ restaurants nearby. My wife and I have this room for 6 days for $210 dollars through a timeshare we pay dearly for. It appears that Wyndham/RCI needs to step up their game just more than a little bit! **UPDATE** Within moments of posting this review, we got a call from the front desk saying our jacuzzi tub was leaking down to the first floor and to " be careful ". What is the damn point of advertising a jacuzzi tub if it cannot be used. There was no off to change rooms and nobody was coming to fix it. Downgrade to 1 single Star and that is being generous! read more

See all

I love this hotel.. The staff is great and the services is excellent .My family is hook on this hotel. I can't get them to stay any where else.i just hate my pet cannot come. I have a clean little dog and have to leave her home breake my heart everytime. I wish they get animal back or I just need to find a hotel that allow my dog she is our family. The location is great in the French Quarter . We have about 20 people each time we go with 6 rooms we love it. read more

I own 2 weeks here 2 bedroom in the spring and one for the fall 507 and 410 and have no issue with either rooms but no oven kind of sucks a hate microwaves so I bring a Breville oven and also my own omelet pan and lid and a 7 seven day cooler as the frigs in the rooms are very small. the hotel is a bit dated but charming but it seem not all rooms are equal in the hotel as i never had any such problems plus the parking lot under it get locked at night read more

Worst place ever. Filthy. I guess the $35 cleaning fee is to maybe pick up dirty towels. Carpet smells. No available parking. Steven"s response? Well it's Friday night. He's rude and useless and truly doesn't care about how bad it is. Run as fast as you can from this place. If you have a time share, take the loss. Avoid avoid avoid!!!! read more

Honestly, I want to give the place a terrible review so it will stay laid back and quiet! I own a timeshare week here, so of course I like the place. The units can be small, but why are you staying in your room in New Orleans? Go outside!! The location is great, on the edge of both the French Quarter and Frenchman street. Close enough that it can get a tiny bit noisy on the weekends. Don't expect to be able to cook much in the tiny kitchen. The staff is really nice and helpful. I love the indoor courtyard, and the balcony overlooking Esplanade. This place does have the world's slowest elevators, and parking is hard to come by. I like the old furniture, it is charming! read more
