The Cornstalk Hotel

I liked the location, it was the best thing about the Cornstalk. The staff was excellent for what they had to work with! Deja, who worked everyday that we were there, was excellent. She tried to accommodate problems for my husband and I in our room and also for my other family members in a second room. And, the lady who cleaned our rooms did a good job with the deteriorating rooms she had to work with. The inn has history, but the owner need to do some renovating of the rooms to be able to sell that history!

First, after tax, etc., our rooms were $186 per night. And, the rooms are definitely not worth that much! Our first room was so small, when I walked by the end of the bed, I had to turn sideways. We did not have any kind of closet so we had to hang 5 days worth of clothes on the back of the bathroom door. There was really no amenities that contributed to the value of the room! Not a clock, nor a coffee pot, no ice machine (although we were able to get ice from the person at the desk.). A plus, the A/C worked! We asked on the second day if we could have a larger room. They were nice enough to accommodate this request and gave us a larger room. However, the A/C in the larger room did not work well. They had a small fan that they gave us which helped very little. The last night my family in the second room had to move to a different room because their A/C was completely OUT! Since the temperature in New Orleans was about 100 degrees, it was really uncomfortable in our rooms since the air conditioning was broken different days in different rooms. Our ages ranged from 67-81 years old, so this was a tough vacation! I have never spent so much and gotten so little!
