Was at the Frenchman Hotel July 5-6, 2008. My experience was horrible. We had two rooms and neither one of them had air conditioning when we arrived. This time of year is HOT in New Orleans. One of the units was fixed but the other never was. In the room without air, the ceiling fan failed to work as well.... more

Let me first assure anyone thinking of booking a room here at the Frenchmen that ALL rooms at the Frenchmen Hotel are fully air conditioned. Our policy here at the Frenchmen, which is evident in other reviews, is to check guests in as early as we have the room available. However, we do not guarantee the room until 3pm due...

My husband and I stayed at the Frenchmen Hotel June 23-26, and we loved it! The staff was always very friendly, and they courteously answered all our ridiculous questions. :) Our room was small (but for $59 a night, you won't hear us complaining!), but kept clean. The decor of the hotel is indeed funky... but a classic funky (if... more

I took 3 teen girls to NOLA from 5/29--6/2/08 as a graduation gift. After careful consideration of several options I booked a loft at the Frenchmen as an alternative to the Bourbon Street scene. Since we wouldn't be spending that much time in our room (or so I thought), I believed the loft would be adequate. In hindsight I wish... more

Found this hotel by searching for "funky" hotels in New Orleans. Wanted a good location in a "neat" hotel for my daughter's 21st birthday trip, her first trip to NOLA and my 2nd. The Frenchmen had been called "funky" by a very famous travel guidebook, it is in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, in a late 1800's coverted Creole... more

This has got to be the worse place I have ever stayed at. The only part that I liked about is was the fact that I could open up my doors to such a unique culture. The staff was horrible, and I suggest that if you ever want anything stolen from you, check into this hotel. The maid grabbed my... more

Please know before you book that theft has NEVER been a problem at the Frenchmen Hotel. The guests writing this review were confused from the start as to where they're necklace may have been placed and later where even uncertain as to whether the missing item was a necklace or tennis bracelett. The Housekeeper in accused has been with the...

The Frenchmen is cute, affordable, and close to tons of great places. Our room was small, but we didn't care. It was clean and very nice, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the AC worked great. There were two wedding parties staying there, and I think we were the only people there not with a wedding. The staff was very... more

I don't know what some of these people are talking about. Let me start by saying I'm in my 40s and take a couple vacations a year. I want a decent and clean place to stay. I'll primarily be sleeping and showering in my room. I want the place to be affordable because I'm there to spend my money on... more

This lovely B&B is charming. We arrived at 10:30am, hours before scheduled check-in. Without a moment's hesitation, the desk manager offered his office for our luggage and took my cell number to call as soon as our room was ready. We were able to check in by 1pm. Our room was extremely tiny but quaintly decorated. The goldenrod walls were... more

I stayed at the Frenchman for 4 weeknights in April. I stayed alone in a “Standard One Full Bed”. Parking was safe, easy, and only $15/day. The free wireless internet access was good – from my Room, 207, I could get it by opening the door. You have to get the code from the front desk. The AC units provided... more

First, let me tell you what was good about this place. The people that worked there were very polite and gracious and I really appreciated that. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The air-conditioning worked well. The location was great; just a few minutes walk to the heart of the French Quarter. Unfortunately, there were many things... more
