We booked a deluxe double room for a steep price. What we got is a windowless hole under the staircase with a carpet stained with unidentifiable substance which sure looked like a mix of blood and urine. We were told there are no other rooms available, and that since we had already checked in before seeing the room, they would... more

I grew up in NOLA and go back as often as possible. I truly understand what it means to miss New Orleans, and the feeling of home I get from the excellent staff at the French Market Inn keeps me staying there at least twice a year. I see on some of the reviews that visitors sometimes find this hotel... more

I liked this hotel very much, was very worried after reading the reviews but I think we might have got the best room in the hotel. It was right over the little coffee house so every morning we woke to soft jazz and the smell of coffee...wonderful! Not all the rooms looked so nice but we had a great view... more

Ok listen. If you want a 5 star hotel at this price then don't even bother. This is a great place to stay. It is right in the heart of everything to do in the French Quarter. The river is one block away, the Open Air French Market is about 4 blocks away, Jackson Square is 2 blocks away, Bourbon... more

Great locatio. It took 24 hours to get the air conditioner programmed. We were extremely hot till then. The desk clerk had to program it then. The maintenance guy was asleep behind the front desk. No matress cover and no bath mats. Location is the only thing that would bring us back. more

They are on the corner on of St. Louis and Decatur. The location is okay, but not great. It has a Community Coffee Shop next to it which was convenient. The front desk was very friendly and helpful...but, the room was only adequate. There wasn't even a dresser. I check in early to get a good room and they still... more

The first night we had to ask for a different room, the piped in music from the downstairs coffee shop was too much! 2nd and 3rd night quiet, but where's the room service, bed not made up, no clean towels, shampoo, etc. I cleaned the coffee pot, but no coffee, When we approached the front desk, we were asked (did... more

This was our 2nd stay in this hotel. After having read the really bad reviews, I was surprised that both our stays have been so pleasant. I can only think that the reviewers have exceptionally great expectations of a 2 star hotel in a 200 year old building in the French Quarter. This ain't the Four Seasons, people!! We've stayed... more

Room was very very small. The airconditioner had a motion sensor so it shuts off at night while you try to sleep and when on, was so loud you couldn't hear anything but the motor. They only gave us 2 towels and when called for more, never received them. There was no cell phone service in the room, you had... more
