The hotel is located very good, near downtown. The room is really clean and comfortable, there's AC, a small fridge and in some rooms, a bathtub. You even get to have cable and wireless internet. BUT, besides there's no such thing as what they call "continental breakfast" (which is only some coffee and a bottle of orange juice on the kitchen's fridge), YOU GET ROBBED AT THE CHECK OUT. That's right, they are thieves. This guy, Jessie, such a nice guy at first, so kind and so friendly, would charge you twice or even thrice as much as it was supposed to be. I stayed for two nights, with 96 dollars per night, it really should have been 192 dollars, tax included. But he charged 576 DOLLARS, as if I had stayed there 6 NIGHTS!! The first thing i did was to call Jessie and give my complain, getting only a "this is harassment, you can't keep on calling me like this, I'm gonna hung up" and he hung up. I keep on calling him and he wouldn't answer his phone nor the hotel phone. Finally, he turned both phones off and got away with my money. So, DO NOT STAY AT THE PARISIAN COURTYARD INN IN NEW ORLEANS... YOU'LL GET ROBBED!!

Nice place to stay. On the edge of the Garden District, block from street car (not a trolly) that takes you to the quarter. Tom was full of great advice for where to eat and what to do.

Stayed three times over two months while interviewing and house hunting in the area.

Me and my friend stayed there for about 10 days in July 2002. Its cheap, conveniently located, and reasonably well equipped for a hostel. We stayed in the double room at the very top of the building which had two double beds, air conditioning and a shower. The atmosphere wasn't as good as we heard it would be from the guide book - we never really met anyone else and it was curiousley quiet most of the time. They were doing it up at the time so some rooms were off limits. The whole place had the really nice smell of an old wooden building which for some strange reason added to the stay. There's also a 24 hour bar around the block which is great for playing pool with strange people until the sun comes up. As for ghosts, my friend claims he woke up at about 6 in the morning and there were unexplainable voices coming from the air conditioning! So watch out...

The house is a guesthouse/hostel (more of a hostel) and is a unique, safe place to stay in New Orleans. It ain't the cleanest establishment -- as improvements are greatly needed on the structure and an interior remodel would serve
it well, however... the people were always nice (I heard conversations in French, Korean, English, Japanese and German all in one night!), towels and linens always clean, shower curtain always ripped, a decent kitchen to cook and store food at, and the location is prime! (I am really afraid to tell actually, as it's a nice inexpensive secret tucked away in the otherwise sort-of expensive Garden District area of New Orleans.)

We heard it was haunted, but sorry, during my three stays there, we never a peep from a ghost, just some unlucky drunk who had to puke one night and his groans and prayers to the porcelin god were heard throughout the house!

If you're not interested in ghosts, but wanna be near food, near groceries, near bus stops and the famous St. Charles
Street trolley, for 15-35 bucks a night, it can't be beat. I mean, who wants to stay in their hotel anyway while in the Big Easy?
