I'm going to do the good, the bad, and the ugly thing with my review. First, to be fair, let me tell you about me. I wish most reviewers did this so I can compare apples to apples. Who you are matters. My wife and I are not heavy, heavy, travelers but we travel a lot. In the past 12... more

This is our second time to the R Bar and New Orleans. The hotel consists of basically 4 rooms and a 2 bedroom suite with an almost full kitchen. 3 rooms have balcony access and one room is on street level entry. I recommend getting 5 or 6 couples together and taking the whole place over. Spend the extra cab... more

This will be a long, but fair and honest review. So, please stick with me through the entire thing. This is our third visit to the Royal Street Inn and the first two were five-star affairs, and with the upgrades to the rooms and new ownership we were hoping for more of the same. This was our eighth trip to... more

The good: Inexpensive; the location on Royal Street, between Faubourg Marigny and French Quarter and a very short walk to Frenchmen St. jazz clubs. Bed was pretty comfy. Nice to have an ipod clock radio. The bad: if you are tall, you are going to have problems standing upright in the bathroom because it is elevated and the roof is... more

Wow, where to begin. Rooms apparently have been renovated. There was new furniture and plasma tv's. Now, I have loved this place in the past but I don't think I'll be back. Mattresses on the blacony? Is that really necessary? And if I'm staying in the suite on the floor with the balcony, I'm sorry, but I'm not ok with... more

I stayed in the Deco Delite for JazzFest weekend. It was visibly clean, but I did find a dead roach in the corner by the door. The room was just off the street and people tend to sit on the doorstep in front of the room while having a good time at the bar. The party usually goes all night... more

I was in New Orleans for business around 1999. All the hotels were booked. I remembered the R Bar from the Spin Magazine Guide to Underground Travel. I called and booked a room. That was it - whenever I'm in New Orleans, this is where I stay. I've slept in all the rooms except the Ghost suite. If you travel... more

Sorry it took so long to write this! We stayed for 4 nights for our Honeymoon getaway, and were in the Suite Royale, which was HUGE. The air worked great (important), and there was an extra half bath to go with the big bath with the wonderful tub. The big bed was very comfortable. The full kitchen was nice, too.... more

I have been to the Royal Street in on many occassions. Of course, the best room is the "Suite Royale". Talk about gorgeous! Wood floors, private balcony, 2 beds, full kitchen, 2 baths, I could go on and on. The rest of the rooms have such great character. Just a couple more trips and I will have stayed in all... more
