New Orleans hotellit Marigny

Plussat: Great location, nice people in charge. Great rooms. Loved it.

Plussat: We very much enjoyed our stay here. The room was large, spotless clean and quiet. The property is within walking distance from both Bywater and the French Quarter. Breakfast is always cooked by the hosts (and varied: we stayed several nights and it was never the same). The hosts are also very kind and helpful (Michelle was very attentive and kind to help us with receiving our delayed luggage).

Miinukset: We did not have any problem.

Plussat: Room was spacious and comfortable, but even nicer were Michelle and Bob, our hosts. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable about the area, with great suggestions for where to eat, drink and hear good music. And the breakfasts were great too!

Plussat: We loved the extra attention they took to make sure we knew the city. The owner made sure we knew how to get to our destination and back as safe as possible. It was a beautiful place to stay and everyone was extremely friendly.

Plussat: A wonderful place, super clean, comfortable. Great location close to Frenchmen street. Most importantly two wonderful hosts.

Plussat: It was obvious that Michelle and Bob spent time thinking out the breakfast menu. It was not the standard eggs, meat and potatoes. For example, the Friday breakfast was sautéed shrimp on grits. Excellent.

Plussat: Very pretty and comfortable inn. The innkeepers were lovely. Breakfasts were delish. We will stay again.

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Michelle was very warm,welcoming, and accommodating. The room was clean and beds was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect.

Miinukset: The only negative was the noise from other guests could be heard from the room. It wasn’t a major issue but was noticeably loud at times. Overall, the positives far outweigh the negative.

Plussat: The breakfast was lovely. Bob is a great cook. I'm a diabetic and it was never a problem to get a protein for carb substitute. The fruit was fresh everyday and the other guest were delightful. The location is great, we walked miles everyday and only took the bus when it was cold. It drops you off right across the street so it's most convenient. Tons of great food and must nearby.

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: Michelle made the best pancakes I have ever had. Food was delicious. We went right as the Coronavirus outbreak occured and they were so helpful and flexible about our check in/out time and accommodating. They gave us great information about where to go, eat and what to do. They were so sweet, we will have to come back here again if we are ever back in the area.

Miinukset: Nothing. Amazing stay.

Plussat: Location, location, location! Room was spacious, clean and loaded with old world charm.

Plussat: Close to all attractions

Miinukset: Bed and pillows were hard

Plussat: We stayed at Jean Lafitte House for one night this past weekend and everything was perfect. The location is right in the heart of the French Quarter. The room exceeded our expectations and Jason was so helpful. There is no doubt we will be staying here again for our next NOLA visit!

Plussat: The location was perfect to walk around the French Quarter. No vehicle needed other than an occasional Uber.

Miinukset: Honestly, everything was great from the friendliness of the staff to the organic coffee. We basically were on the go everyday only to lay down at night. If anything was needed, the staff had it right away for you.

Plussat: Accommodation was spacious and well located.They were prepared for our late arrival, having left an envelope with a room key and instructions.

Miinukset: We were there for three nights, but at no point did the room receive any service. When I called to ask if our coffee could be replenished, I was told to call a different number, so I did. The man who answered, who is apparently the “after hours” person, although it was 9 o’clock on a Saturday morning, told me that they don’t clean the rooms every day and they don’t replenish the coffee. When I pointed out that their information sheet doesn’t say that, he switched to the explanation that because it was near Mardi Gras, the schedule was different. I suggested that they include a flyer explaining this, rather than one that says they come in every day but Sunday. He said he would bring coffee packets by later that day. He did not, nor did he the next day. He also asked whether I was “hotel or timeshare.” I didn’t even understand this question, being unaware that this property included timeshares as well as rooms booked through hotel sites. Disorganized management.

Plussat: The location is excellent. It’s right by the French quarter and by the Marigny and there are convenience stores along esplanade. The host Jason was very friendly and always available for questions and interesting information. The security of the place was excellent. There even is someone at the door most of the time. For it being the biggest holiday in New Orleans the room was quite affordable for what it gave us. A full kitchen with cutlery and fridge and toaster and a good size main bedroom which my father got to enjoy.

Miinukset: The room we stayed in was on the ground floor and it being Mardi Gras the window shutters had to be closed. While I do appreciate the security aspect I also found that it made the room super dark. It would be nice to have the option of opening them just for a few hours in the morning. The maid actually never came to make up the room. We had the Do Not Disturber sign out for the first day but not the days following and by the end we nearly ran out of toilet paper. It is a little unclear on booking.com that this is a timeshare property. I think that is important information when booking as I do prefer to support the hotel industry. The mattress on the pull out sofa was good enough to sleep on when very drunk but otherwise I suggest you book another room if you need a second bed.

Plussat: It was great

Miinukset: Walls are thin. It’s an old building. I get it. People were outside at 3am in the main area and we heard their whole conversation

Plussat: The manager was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. I loved the old world charm of the building including the spiral staircase in the loft and the fact that the building was built in 1890.

Miinukset: I don't have any specific dislikes about Jean Lafitte. But, I can also include that it was helpful that the hotel manager was able to give us information on where the closest mini mart was located and the best watering holes.

Plussat: Beautiful apartment. Great location

Miinukset: Street level can be a little noisy

Plussat: I love the layout and staff

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Comfortable bed and furniture. Having a kitchen was great for leftovers from the wonderful restaurants

Miinukset: Convenient to the French quarter and easy to get to. Super friendly staff. Lovely suite, well cared for and very comfortable

Plussat: Hotel employee checked us in and was wonderful! He helped us with all questions regarding the hotel and exploring the city!

Miinukset: We have no complaints. It was a great stay!

Plussat: It was super clean and had everything we needed.

Miinukset: Something happened to the hot water our last night but they were very nice and comped our parking for the inconvenience. Other than that, which wasn't their fault, it was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

Plussat: Location location location and in the heart of live music action

Miinukset: No elevator or bathroom fan

Plussat: The location on Frenchmen St. was perfect. The balconies allowed you to enjoy the Frenchmen street festivities when you didn't want to be "in the thick of it". The rooms had just been redecorated and were nice and very clean. All needed amenities for the kitchenette were provided. Know that earplugs are a must for light sleepers because the Frenchmen Street music scene is literally at your door step

Miinukset: We reserved 4 rooms and cancelled 1 of those rooms in the time frame allotted for full refund. When you book with booking.com you are initially charged for the first nights lodging and the additional amount upon check-in at the hotel. This property had recently changed ownership and they were undergoing various system changes. Upon check-in I paid for the 3 rooms that we had reserved HOWEVER at checkout the hotel attempted to charge me for the 4th room that had been cancelled. After MUCH discussion and time I was indeed not charged for this room. I am however checking on the 1st nights refund for the cancelled room. I am sure that this will be a more fluid process with time. This was an understandable glitch but it was a major inconvenience and I will probably use a different booking site in the future.

Plussat: PERFECT LOCATION! The front desk help was wonderful! Alvena checked us in and was very helpful throughout our stay. Our room was very nice and beds were extremely comfortable.

Plussat: I stayed at one of the one bedroom apartments and it was very clean and the bed is super comfortable. It is located at the French Quarter right on the strip where there is live music daily. There are several restaurants/cafes located near the apartment. The French Market and Bourbon St. are within walking distance. Highly recommend this place. Also there's a little grocery store right across the street which is pretty convenient for water/beer & some quick food.

Plussat: Absolutely everything about the place was above expectations - cannot wait to return to 519 and NOLA

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was such a comfortable atmosphere. Bed was amazing. Couple of blocks away from Frenchman.

Miinukset: Liked it all!

Plussat: Brian was very helpful.No issues at all.Convenient location.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location and beautiful.

Plussat: Location was great...walking distance to Frenchman St and the French Quarter. We stayed in the cottage behind the house, which was filled with light, and very quiet

Plussat: I loved the convenience of the location, the french doors that open to balcony that allows you to overlook the neighborhood, and the rain shower head.

Miinukset: The walls were bubbling everywhere due to moisture and it was an eyesore, the elevator super slow stairs were easier but an inconvenience, and eggs were powdered

Plussat: Melrose Mansion was in a perfect location - a short walk to everything, but just far enough away from the craziness of Bourbon Street to have a great night's sleep. Our bed was comfortable and our room was beautiful. Breakfast was very generous and any staff we dealt with were lovely. Would definitely stay here again!

Miinukset: Not the property's fault, but our booking didn't come through to their system properly from booking.com. They handled this really well and found us an upgraded room as a result :)

Plussat: Very nice property, friendly staff. Nice breakfast service and wine/ cheese in the evenings. Loved our room, huge bed, charming furnishings.

Miinukset: Bathroom could have been more convenient. No counter space to speak of and getting in and out of the spa tub/shower was difficult with the glass door.

Plussat: The mansion is beautiful! The area is a little bit away from Bourbon Street, so we were able to get away from the party atmosphere when we wanted to relax. The hotel staff were very friendly, as were the guests. We had an issue with the hot water in our room, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we stayed comfortable, and had our needs met.

Miinukset: Everything was fine!

Plussat: Location, style, cleanliness, friendly staff.

Miinukset: No, everything was great!

Plussat: Location was amazing. Courtyard was beautiful.

Miinukset: Our room was too close to street and was noisey- ask for a courtyard facing room!

Plussat: They have done a good job of providing modern amenities without losing the traditional feel of this beautiful property. The location is perfect for experiencing the French Quarter.

Miinukset: Just a minor gripe about weak water pressure

Plussat: The property is beautiful and in a great location - not in the action but close enough to it. Justin at the front desk is so sweet and endlessly accommodating.

Plussat: The lamothe house has an incredible location, we could walk and explore the French quarter very easily. The staff was super friendly, the pool Is beautiful, the room was clean and I loved that they used Aveda products in the hotel bathroom. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and will most likely stay here my next trip to New Orleans.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Black mold in the bathroom under window you could see it while taking a bath. They didn't supply water daily said it would charge for it. Said the first 2 are free when you checking in. I guess you need to when your own soap. Due they never supply any after checking in. The room was so small I guess it should be for one person because for 2 people it was a tight walk to the bathroom. When booking it was called queen deluxe. Very tiny room. Got 2 orange from the bowl and staff said your stealing. Not stealing anything it a bowl with fruit for any guests and I did it in front of you. That's not stealing.

Plussat: Location was great. Staff were terrific and very helpful.

Miinukset: Walls were thin and could hear everything from other rooms.

Plussat: Very close and convenient to Frenchman Street...choose enough to French Quarter area without being in the middle of it all Nice quiet area, loved having the secure parking lot right there

Plussat: The bed's are very comfortable, the rooms are nice and clean, the staff is very nice and friendly. The location is top notch, very close to Frenchman's Street and a short walk into the heart of the French Quarter.

Miinukset: The house is from 1820 (I think, or close to it) so has a few quirks. It would be nice to have something more substantial served in the morning other than a bit of fruit and coffee. Also, the back gate is left open during the day with a rock so workmen can come and go easily - I did not love this, as anybody can walk in, and I would prefer everyone could feel safe in this lovely little courtyard and pool area.

Plussat: I love the staff and the real "feel of New Orleans" in this 200 yo building. This really recaptures the feeling if times gone by.

Miinukset: Nothing not to like.

Plussat: Great room with huge shower and jacuzzi tub. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms were very much in the style of the French quarter. Great for people that are not using the hotel for more than a place to sleep comfortably with great location for a French quarter experience.

Miinukset: No bar attached

Plussat: You can get a same-box room from any of the regular chains, but this is New Orleans. Take a chance and be surprised. The Balcony Guesthouse is just that surprised. Set in the Marigny, it is authentic and wonderful. A restaurant and great bar anchor the corner. The rooms have comfortable beds, nice bathrooms. Our room was set in the house and had a common kitchen area and a front common seating room. All these spaces had interesting books and artwork. Nearby are other eating establishments and funky (in New Orleans a good thing) coffeehouses. All in all a great experience. We will be back.

Miinukset: The TV had a bunch of wires, but hey--we were in New Orleans: we never turned it on.

Plussat: We enjoyed how close the bed and breakfast was to the French Quarter. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: We were supposed to check in at 3 pm on Monday the 1st (of February). The innkeeper texted us to let us know the BnB was not open on Mondays. If the room was clean before 3 pm we would be allowed to check in. We arrived to the BnB and found our room at 11 am hadn't been cleaned from the person before. So we decided we would just wander and come back at 3 pm. We did so and when we returned we found the room in the same condition. At this point I'm tired and frustrated. We call the innkeeper and he tells us there is staff at the property that should be taking care of it. After that they quickly cleaned our room and we were allowed in around 415 pm. This was one pitfall. I understand if you are closed on Mondays, but what I don't understand is why you don't have the staff to help run the place. In our price we were offered a continental breakfast... But the chef was in Houston and we did not get the continental breakfast the next day. We got a knock on our door at 8 pm to give us our breakfast. This included a yogurt, Apple, granola bar, croissant, and water. I'm in no way upset with any of the staff. I'm just a little frustrated that all of this couldn't have been told to us prior to our arrival so that if we wanted to find another hotel we could have. Value overall due to it being close to the French quarter was good. Value for the service provided, don't think so. I think I'll be staying somewhere different next time.

Plussat: It was very clean. Owner and staff were very helpful. Restaurant next door (with good food) was very convenient. They were excited when we told them about the wedding. 

Miinukset: Need more/real closet space

Plussat: Location, ambiance, room size

Miinukset: Bed was uncomfortable Would have slept on hideabed if I had known that the sofa opened. Sheets were clean but needed replacing.

Plussat: The neighborhood feel is very nice and it's above an excellent restaurant: The Silk Road.

Plussat: Excellent stay cosy comfortable beds staff great

Plussat: We learned when we arrived that the Guesthouse no longer serves breakfast. When we requested a credit rather than a voucher to use at the on-site restaurant, that was provided immediately. The communication was good even though there was no staff person at the property. The location is great - close to Frenchmen Street and French Quarter, but quiet. Several nice coffee/breakfasts places close by. Affordable.

Miinukset: Rooms were smaller than expected and there was no place to sit other than on the bed (no chair in our room; I'm not sure about our daughter's room). Rooms were down the hall from each other, but not next to each other. I don't know where some of the spaces in the pictures are located - we never saw them.

Plussat: Excellent food and Jake the bartender and the two chefs were incredibly kind and made us feel so welcomed. Zak is the best host and so incredibly kind!

Plussat: Liked restaurant connected with the place. Bartender was nice. Sitting on balcony in corner room was nice.

Plussat: Kim and Charly are great hosts. If your looking for somewhere to lay your head after a long day this is the place.

Plussat: Comfortable beds and clean overall. Short walk to the French Quarter but still feels like a local neighborhood. Wifi worked well. Good value for the money and nice character.

Miinukset: No signs other than street address. Haphazard check in process. No coffee in the morning (there's a machine but no indication of where to find the materials or get water and no one around to ask). Only saw staff once, and it was her first day. Rooms are pretty much a bed and bathroom only, no place to sit other than the bed itself.

Plussat: The Inn was a very nice place to stay. This staff was extremely nice and helpful, the Innkeeper let us know all the good places to eat and that weren't the mainstream places. It was clean and pretty roomy, for two people. It wasn't a very big place, which I liked because it wasn't loud or crazy. Even the neighborhood it was in was a very quiet area, but it was close enough to the Quarter that we could just walk there.

Miinukset: The only things lacking are nit-picky things. For example there was not ice available. And they only had showers not tubs. There was street side parking only and it was hard to find places to park at times because it is in a residential area. But as I said for all the pros, these are just little nitpicky things.
