Located in a charming historic mansion, this hotel is just a short walk to the French quarter and Frenchman street. The staff was very helpful and friendly, I arrived early in the morning, and was allowed to work from the pool area in the back of the hotel, once my room was ready, I was let in even before the check in time, which allowed me to rest after my early morning flight. They recommended to try out Li'l Dizzy's Cafe for lunch, which is just a couple minute walk away, a great seafood lunch spot! The room was spacious, there was a small fully equipped kitchen, and the mattress was super comfortable. Great place to stay, highly recommend it!

The staff was excellent and very helpful. Also really enjoyed the pool. The rooms were good size and the bed was very comfortable. Location is great if you don’t mind walking which we were good with. It also felt secure.
The outside is very run down and could use some maintenance. The rooms were not as pictured.

The property was located in a mostly quiet residential area that was an easy walk to the French quarter. It was very clean, the bathroom looked new, the beds very comfortable and we had a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, coffee facilities, sink and small dining table, they also had coffee, water and a few grab and go items downstairs. The staff were really friendly and helpful, when we asked for our room clean they sent an email for us to let them know our preferred time. The pool area was lovely and was nice to sit for an hour in the evening. The parking and property was secure.
We had a couple of issues during our stay, the toilet roll holder fell off but only due to a loose grub screw and was fixed within 24 hrs. The sink in the bathroom was slow to drain, we reported it but although maintenance came it was not resolved during our stay. The room had flaky paint on the ceiling in places and I think a little tlc in places wouldn’t go a miss. We couldn’t find the pool lights even though it was open till midnight, it was fine but would have been nice to have the string lights on.

The service for check-in was excellent. Location is safe and gated parking is great, although it is not free. Rooms are cosy and shower is superb.

I enjoyed staying in the Marigny, which is in a fairly quiet neighborhood. The mansion is about a 10 - 15 minute walk to both the French Quarter and Frenchman Street, and the 91 bus stop is right there. Staff are all very welcoming and accommodating
Initially I was given room 1C which is small, dark, with a view of a nearby wall. I asked to be switched to the other side of the building, and I was put in 1F, which was much more pleasant. Staff is only on the property from 9am - 5pm, but can always be reached by phone The bathtub is slippery with no handgrips to hold on to. There is a hot water machine in the room with instant coffee and small milk containers, but no sugar or tea. However, they are available in the main lobby

Very good location, sufficient heating (yes, was important in February!), polite reception, reasonable price for New Orleans center.
During the heavy rain parking lot was flooded. "Breakfast" startet at 9 and at 10 some item were out of stock (milk for the Müsli), and it was not clearly communicated that there is a rudimentary breakfast (booking dot com does not mention any breakfast, though, but comments and the reception lady mention it).
