    Very nice Boutique hotel. This is my 21st visit to New Orleans and I let my baby pick the Hotel this time. He tends to like more rustic and historic locations so here we are. The price was probably about $300 less for four nights then what would have been my choice of the Four Points or Omni Royal. We got a street view balcony on the second floor. I recommend requesting the second floor if you'd like a little bit larger balcony. Our balcony had a full size table with four chairs and we had two queen beds so the room was a little bigger. The room comes equipped with the safe, small closet, and a small mini fridge. The mini fridge got down to about 36° so that was pretty good in the New Orleans heat. This hotel does not include other items that I prefer which are like a rooftop pool and bottled water available during the day. It's pretty basic but does the job. The staff was very friendly but not very informative. We were handed our keys when we checked in and told where the elevator was. Not told anything about the restaurant attached to the hotel or about the pool and Courtyard area which are pretty cool areas. The rooms do not come with an iron and ironing board or steamer so you must request them which is what we did. You have to wait for it to be delivered by housekeeping which was very fast. The restaurant that is attached is called Vacherie and they have happy hour every day from 3:00 to 6:00. The funny part is I've always stopped at this small restaurant and bar every trip but somehow did not make it downstairs except to pick up a croissant in the morning. There is a small grocery store across the street called toulouse Grocery and they have small essentials such as beer, wine and water. I did not find this place to be too clean and they do make breakfast sandwiches in the morning but I didn't feel comfortable eating food from there from the looks of the place. I did sit and enjoy the courtyard once but I did not use the pool. The pool is very small and I will add some pictures so that you can see. I would return to this hotel but next trip will be my choice so I will be picking the Omni or the Four Points because I am the modern spoiled hotel lady and I like my extra amenities

    Stayed at Hotel St. Marie and honestly loved it. I was a little worried about noise being so close to Bourbon Street, but I slept incredibly well every night. The bed was super comfortable. The balcony is small, but still nice to have for some fresh air, and the bathroom is a bit tight but totally manageable. The location is perfect, just a block from Bourbon so you're close to everything without being in the chaos, and I felt very safe walking around solo. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The courtyard and pool area are also really pretty and a nice spot to unwind. Would absolutely stay here again.

    What a lovely little hotel! From the moment we walked in, this place was just lovely. The employees were fantastic. The room was perfect. Clean, comfortable, close to everywhere we wanted to be. A small restaurant and bar on the ground floor. Food was fantastic. A small coffee shop adjacent to the restaurant...again, lovely. Valet garage parking is a must and they have it. I have zero complaints about my stay here. From day one...just a pleasant experience. Thank you!

    Cute little hotel right in the heart of the French quarter. Stayed in December with a room facing the street - be warned you will hear people and traffic at all times of the night - but it was doable for me and was a fun part of the experience. You can also book a room facing the courtyard, which may be quieter. It's right off bourbon street but far enough away you dont feel like you're on top of it. The staff was very sweet and accommodating / friendly. The only downside was the balcony was a little narrow, but it's an old building and was very cute overall. Would recommend

    4.5 stars for Hotel St. Marie. This is a medium sized hotel located in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It's around the corner from Bourbon St. , so if drinking and debauchery is your thing you're in the right place. Hotel St. Marie is very VERY clean. Zero smells in our room, everything was clean. The beds were extremely comfortable, I slept SO well. Most rooms have a small balcony. Ours faced the courtyard with view of the pool. It was very quiet on our floor. The only noise I heard was housekeeping early in the morning in the hallways. The bathroom was clean, no bathtub which was fine with me. Counter space was just right for two persons. There were plenty of towels. There's a closet space with hangers and a light that had a sensor so it turned on whenever there was movement. There was a small fridge, a coffee maker, and basic coffee and tea amenities. Everything in the hotel was in working condition. The hotel was always clean and well maintained. The hotel staff was AWESOME! Joe not only took our suitcases up but he gave us a quick tour of the first floor and also gave us tips on where to eat. He was awesome! The ladies at the front desk were great too, they were SO nice and accommodating. We showed up a little early and we were allowed to stow our suitcases while we waited for our room to be ready. On the first floor of Hotel St. Marie, you have access to Vacherie and a cafe next to it. They're both accessible from the inside and outside. We dined at Vacherie our second night, they took such good care of us. Their bread pudding is DIVINE.... There's a small store across the street, it closes early. Hotel St. Marie is within walking distance of so many places, definitely stay here if you're visiting NOLA! For context, I stayed here March of 2024.

    First time visitors Located in the french quarter across from the Oliver house hotel Parking is limited on the streets and the hotel has a parking structure attached - additional cost unknown Arrived late well near 1am to check in - luckily there is overnight front desk agent to check in and assist! The person was helpful and even walked us directly to where our room was located. It would appear this hotel has 2-3 floors. There is a cafe and restaurant on site along with happy hour. The room overall for 3 people was spacious with 2 queen beds, a coffee tea area, small fridge, flat screen, and large bathroom that had a standard shower tub combination and accessible walk in shower. The main concerns that came up was the poor drainage in the bathroom sink and shower tub combo. Mosquitos do lingo out the door / doorway area and of course bugs can't be controlled. The other concern was when the housekeeper came to do a a quick refresh. She was visible upset and not friendly even after we thanked her . We left everything central and in a tidy pile so she wouldn't have to continuous go back and forth. Location was very walkable to bourbon, royal, all the main streets of the french quarter. You can certainly hear the cars and music from the outside and upstairs guest walking on the floor. For a room to sleep and store things it works, if looking for all the bells and whistle it may or may not be the spot. There are a few courtyards and pool area. The staff was friendly and greeted and wish us a good day, overall wouldn't mind staying here again.

    Pulled up to the st Marie and was instantly greeted by Lonnie at the valet,he was full of life and helpful next was the front desk with porche and Jermaine both were very helpful and had personality for day 10/10 would recommend St Marie hotel from the location to the people.

    I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the Hotel St. Marie! The customer service before we even arrived to the location was top tier, they were so sweet and helpful with getting us checked in and our vehicle parked for the stay. The room was clean and welcoming and we loved the addition of the balcony that had overlooked the courtyard and pool. We left our truck parked for pretty much the entire time because everything is within walking distance in the French quarter from this hotel. It was a lovely experience for my husband and I for our anniversary.

    Clean, friendly staff, great location, the air conditioning worked well and room darkening drapes were appreciated. Pool and courtyard was a bonus. I will stay here again.

    I wasn't lying!!

One of my favorite moments was chatting with a gentleman in the lobby who helped with our luggage. We mentioned we were visiting from Pennsylvania, and he shared that his very first job was in Pennsylvania and actually knew our area. It was one of those authentic conversations that makes you feel more like a guest than just another room number. Our room in the older section was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Housekeeping and the nightly turndown service were exceptional. We also spent plenty of time at the pool, where the staff and bartender were fantastic. The drinks were great, the food hit the spot, and the Fourth of July pop-up DJ made for a really fun afternoon. The service was so personal that one of the bartenders recognized us by name when we ran into her on the street a few days later. The only miss during our stay was the famous Carousel Bar. We never managed to get seats at the actual carousel during our four nights--which is understandable given how popular it is and being the 4th of July weekend. We did sit just behind it. Unfortunately, the service there was noticeably unfriendly and felt completely out of step with the incredible hospitality we experienced everywhere else in the hotel. That one experience wasn't enough to overshadow an otherwise outstanding stay. Between the beautiful historic décor, unbeatable French Quarter location, easy access to everything, and a staff that truly cares about its guests, Hotel Monteleone absolutely lived up to the hype. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The 2 things I care most about when staying in a hotel is a comfortable night's rest and a good bathroom/shower. The bed in our room was the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. It was so mushy that when you laid your head down, you sunk so far into it that your legs were literally 45 degrees above your head. I ended up sleeping upside down in the bed with my head where your feet go in order to feel even remotely comfortable. The pillows were all extremely flat, when you put your head on one it sank so far your face was about 1/2 inch from the mattress. I had to use 3 pillows stacked on each other. I had a stiff back, neck and joints the entire time we were there. The 2nd issue was hot water. The first morning, we attempted to shower, it only got barely luke warm for me and when my husband showered immediately after he only got ice cold water. We stopped at the front desk that morning on our way out for the day and told the woman at the front desk. She said she hadn't received any other complaints so it must be specific to our room and she would send engineering there to look at it. (we were getting hot water in the sink). Later that evening when we returned to our room, we immediately tested the shower again and it was still ice cold. So we went back to the front desk to check if engineering had come. We spoke to the same woman from the morning who acted like it was the first time we were telling her this and she said the exact same thing. I asked if they were going to come ASAP because we needed to shower soon and we couldn't take ice cold showers. She ignored my question and answered the ringing phone. A manager happened to be at the desk and overheard our conversation. He asked what our room number was and said that because of the old building and the pipes the hot water takes longer to get there. He said this was a KNOWN Issue by the staff, management and the owner. He told us to run the shower for AT LEAST 15 to 20 minutes, simultaneously with the sink and it should get hot. He also offered to move us to a different room but when I asked if he could guarantee if we wouldn't have the same problem in that room he couldn't give me a straight answer. We had already unpacked everything and didn't want to go through that hassle without a guarantee. So we went back to the room and let it run for 20 minutes and it eventually got hot. So for the remaining 3 mornings, we had to set our alarms for 30 minutes earlier so we could get up and run our shower before hand. For nearly $300 a night, we felt that this was ridiculous. Old building or not, if its a problem, then either don't put people in those rooms, or get it fixed somehow. Why should anyone be subjected to an ice old shower or an inconvenience to their time because the owner hasn't done anything about it? We visited the hotel Bar, the Bourbon O'bar 3 times during our stay and each time we received TERRIBLE service. None of the bartenders were friendly to us, in fact they were pretty rude. Each time it took them at least 10 minutes to even take our order (by standing there and looking at us and not saying anything). The bar was not busy or crowded any of these times. They would then start making one of our drinks, put it down and make other people's drinks, leave and go into a back room, play on their cell phone, talk to each other, or carry the glass around while doing other things. My husband ordered an old fashioned and the alcohol was sitting in the jar with the ice for over 5 minutes while the bartender carried it around doing other things, causing it to get watered down. When making a cocktail, it should be completed from start to finish without doing other things in the middle. I ordered the Mardi Drop cocktail on 2 different days. The first time, it was actually very good. The 2nd time from a different bartender it was horrible .He also sprinkled probably a tablespoon of cinnamon on top of it (which the first didn't have) which made it nearly undrinkable. I had to stir it into the martini in order to not get a mouthful of cinnamon with each sip. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant Roux because of the bad Yelp reviews - we felt we could get a better breakfast elsewhere outside the hotel. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all unless you don't care about being comfortable or friendly service.

We did have an issue with the AC when we first checked in. We came back to the room later and realized it still hadn't cooled down. Staff did send someone to look at it, but we sat around waiting for a while before finally being moved to another room. I just feel like that part could've been handled a little quicker. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the location was great, and overall it was a really good experience.

Check in was easy and friendly. Past the lobby you exit into an open air courtyard where your room will be in 2 or 3 separate buildings. In the courtyard is the pool and sitting areas with trees. My building had 4 floors with an elevator. My room was nice. I had booked one of their windowless rooms and it was quiet. No outside traffic noises, sirens, etc. A fire station is close by. It had an exposed brick wall, comfortable bed and bathroom with a large walk in shower. I would get this room again. It was lower in cost and I don't think I missed anything not having a window and like I said it was quiet. This is a nice and well kept property with a great location. I would be happy to stay here again.

Just be prepared for the wall of noise if you're staying on a Friday and Saturday night and have a room facing Bourbon Street; you will need more than the sound machine and earplugs the hotel provides you. But if you're there to party hard on Bourbon Street at all the touristy bars, then you will be in your element. Depending on the side of the hotel you select when booking your room and the days you choose, you may be able to get away with just a sound machine and earplugs, or you may be getting too old and need to look elsewhere. If you stay on the courtyard side, you should have enough barriers to deflect the nonstop barrage of noise coming from all the bars and clubs on Bourbon Street, especially between Bienville and St. Ann, on a Friday and Saturday night particularly. We had a room on the third floor with a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street that gave us a great view and the opportunity to enjoy wine and cocktails as the festivities picked up steam throughout the afternoons of our stay. The bed was wicked comfortable. The set of drawers had plenty of space to put clothes with a small fridge for keeping drinks cool and leftovers from spoiling. The closet space was ample and was able to fit all of our hang-up clothing and our suitcases. There was a nice lounge chair next to the desk to chill if you didn't want to sit on the balcony. However, the bathroom was cramped and narrow with these weird double doors that could cause trouble if you are going to do business in the middle of the night. The water pressure wasn't great either and if you don't have the curtain positioned right then you're going to have a puddle. Housekeeping did come by to change our linens and provide fresh towels every day, which was appreciated. The front desk was very affable and accommodating, especially with holding out luggage when our room wasn't quite ready yet to check-in. And I liked that there was a security person checking people that were actually staying at the hotel to avoid stragglers, random drunks, and transients from entering. I didn't have the chance to use the pool while I was there, but we were busy walking around the French Quarter to really care. Same went with having anything in the restaurant for food. They did have the little mini mart on the ground floor that worked for when we needed more bottles of water that were larger than the complimentary ones. Accommodations at the hotel were solid, but just know if you stay here, you're experiencing the full Bourbon Street treatment. It is always loud at night, especially, on the weekends.

The Davenport Lounge features excellent, easy, accomplished jazz courtesy of Jeremy Davenport and his quartet most (but not all) evenings. The food in the restaurant is excellent (as is the service), and staff throughout the venue and spa are top notch - friendly, courteous, uniformly professional. One of the great things is location - it is a very short walk to the crazy of the French Quarter, but a block away - so you have the safety, privacy, and isolation from the party when you need it, you aren't confronted by it as soon as you walk out the door of the hotel, but you are just a short walk around the corner to everything the Quarter and Bourbon Street have to offer. As an historic building, the architecture and aesthetic is much closer to "elegant old New Orleans" than, say, the Four Seasons (very very modern, almost cold presentation) or, for example, the Royal Sonesta which is smack dab in the middle of the crazy. When we come back to NOLA, it will be to the Ritz Carlton.

I can't wait to come back to this gem! Thank you all for such a wonderful and much needed experience!
