I don't even know where to begin! I was going to post my review immediately when I got home but decided to wait a week so it wouldn't seem so harsh. I will start off with the positive. The staff was WONDERFUL. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and kind. They were definitely the bright spot during our stay. Now for... more

We just returned from a week at l'Hotel de L'Eau Vive. We stayed on the second floor, in a two bedroom unit. The layout was odd, with the kitchen and bathroom in the middle. There was an enormous jacuzzi-style bathtub. The kitchen refrigerator was small, but the kitchen had everything we needed. The decor is fairly basic, but it was... more

We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival. After reading some very negative reviews, we were apprehensive. The suite was clean, with new furniture, carpet and fresh paint. The original brick and terracotta tiles added charm. The two bedroom suite had a full living room, bath and kitchen. We were able to walk to all of our destinations. The staff was friendly,... more

I had to go to New Orleans on business. I booked my trip through my travel agent. The location was in walking distance to my conference. I had the best time. This is truly a great city to visit. The next time I visit will be with my family. The Hotel is acutally ideal for families. The rooms are spacious... more

My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Hotel de L'Eau Vive. A quick review of the positives: friendly front desk staff who were very helpful; close to the French Quarter; Canal Street mall, Harrah's, Riverfront - we walked everywhere (don't bother renting a car - parking is very expensive). Negatives: The bathroom was in major need of... more
