Location was excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The young ladies at the front desk were outstanding ! Breakfast was good. Linda was extremely friendly and her personality added a nice touch to our stay. The staff that we experienced were wonderful.
Our room wasn’t as clean as it should have been. For an establishment like that and the room rate charged, I expected the room to be extremely clean. . Lamp shade had spatters of some substance on them, the bathroom floor was sticky on one side and one of the beds in our double queen room looked like the sheets had not been changed from a previous guest. We had to request for these things to be corrected. Carmen at the front desk did an outstanding job at handling the situation. The floor in the elevator was dirty from the time we got there to the time we left.

The French Quarter Inn was a great spot close to the Market. It was an easy walk to explore the Market, the Waterfront park, dining and shopping. The Inn itself was lovely and light filled. The room was spacious and clean. I absolutely loved the Pillow Menu! My husband and I like different types of pillows and we both got exactly what we needed. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that a variety of cold (and hot) drinks were available in the lobby at all times during our stay. In fact, the food here went beyond what I had imagined. The breakfast included cold and hot choices, yogurt and eggs to meats, cheeses and pastries. And lots of fresh fruit. It was all fresh and delicious. The wine & cheese hour was the nicest surprise ... I knew there was one, and I have enjoyed this amenity at inns before ... but at the French Quarter, there were actually several choices of wine (including Prosecco) and quite a spread of cheeses, meats, nuts and other accoutrements. We took ours out to one of the sundecks upstairs. Cookies and milk in the evening was another treat. Oh, and the candy bar! That was another fun surprise. My husband enjoyed the fitness room during our stay. There are also bikes to borrow, but we did not take that opportunity. Overall, a really wonderful stay. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

The best part of staying here is the service. From arrival, the valet staff took the luggage to the room, and the front desk staff was amazing. They have breakfast as a buffet, or you can order in your room. There is wine and cheese, and cookies in the evening. The location is perfect. We could walk to many restaurants/stores and the market is just around the corner.
The lights in the bathroom are dim.

It was a good location. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout. The staff were friendly. The breakfast was excellent. The bedroom and bathroom were a good size. I couldn’t find a single fault from booking in to booking out. First class.
This question is irrelevant for the French Quarter Inn.

The hotel was beyond compare, fabulous, comfortable and squeaky clean. The staff is friendly, caring, and accommodating. Our second visit and can't wait to return.

Excellent location and professional staff. Very comfortable and a pleasant stay. Wine & cheese is a great touch as are the cookies later in the evening. Kimberley & Jay were commendable, thank you.
Breakfast in reception was poor for a hotel of this quality. Very rare a hotel does not offer toast. The air conditioning fans from the Loutrel (Linguard Street side) can be heard in the rooms that side. $44 a day for parking??
