I stayed here with my girlfriend on vacation for exactly 7 nights and we formed a fairly solid opinion of the place and its pros and cons during our stay summarised below. What's Great: - The location is fantastic, 5 stars. This really is a top spot, only a short few blocks from famed night life hot spot Bourbon Street,... More

After reading some of the reviews I was somewhat apprehensive to stay at this hotel. I went ahead and booked a room for 3 nights. Upon arriving, Jenna at the front desk was exceptionally helpful in explaining the history of the hotel itself. All staff that we encountered was friendly. I did notice some things that could be fixed or... More

This was objectively the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. As I understand that generally, quality adjusts accordingly with price, I will describe only the ways that made my hotel experience terrible at any price. First, our room was not available at the specified check in time. In fact, it was not available two hours after check in time.... More

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was adorable, with the cutest little courtyard. The room we chose did not have a window, but that was not a big deal to us. It was worth it for the price. The rooms are very old, but that adds to the charm. The were very clean and that is what is... More

We stayed here May 10th for 6 nights. We love NO and just wanted to go down and spend some time there playing tourist. We took the train down and had been on it for almost 21 hours so we were ready to get started. We were greeted with a great hello and smile from Nancy at the front desk.... More

We loved the location and the affordability, and this Inn brought to mind many of our stays in Italy, and left it lacking. All the ownership needs to do to make a big impact is some fresh paint and 1" foam pads on the mattresses. I love unique, and we enjoyed being able to stop at the room during the... More

Stayed at the French Market Inn from July 26th to May 1st for the Jazz and Blues Festival. Some good points, the hotel is in an ideal locale, right in the heart of the French quarter, you can walk easily from place to place. Decatur street is busy until the wee hours of the morning, so if you are single,... More

Overall, we were pretty disappointed with this hotel. The location was excellent, but as others have noted, the rooms are small dingy (dirty) and poorly furnished. The air conditioning was pretty pathetic. It wouldn't hold a lower temperature and kept resetting to higher temps. Several visits from maintenance didn't solve the problem (I can deal with dirty walls and an... More

The hotel is undergoing renovations, but our stay in February was fun. Very clean entry and common areas. Room was a tight fit but very cute. The staff was great!! It will be magnificent when it is all done.Would stay there again. The location is prime easy walking to everything without all the noise of Bourbon street. More
