    Historical inn, lots of charm and perfect location.

    The only not super positive aspect is that ONLY IF people in other rooms are extremely loud and unrestful, you can hear them. Happened to me with people playing extremely loud music until 3am (the hotel kindly offered me to change room). After those people left, I heard nothing in the following days.

    The location is right across the Steamboat Natchez, you are 10 minutes on foot from each side of the French quarter. Absolutely perfect and far enough from the extremely loud busy part of the neighbourhood. Also, very close to tram stops and buses. Bathroom was spacious, I personally found the bed very comfortable. While you can't open the windows, the air-conditioned can be set from the room and worked perfectly. The staff was lovely. In particular, I was extremely lucky to check in with Deidra. Her presence in the hotel became a nice part of my staying in New Orleans. As a big extra: I loved staying in a place that has been an inn, historically, for two-hundred years.

    Overall, I would say that I would have liked the space to feel a little more homey, inviting and clean. However, the building appears to be very old (which is part of it's charm) and I imagine difficult to keep up with.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and quiet for the most part. The courtyard inside the hotel was so lovely!

    If you bring a car, parking is a premium. The inn does not have parking and you have to use a public lot. No discounts offered, but the inn arranged the parking. Only $46 a night!!

    Very quaint historical inn and well maintained. The location was perfect for getting around the French Quarter without having to drive. A few blocks walk to Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, and many of the restaurants. The Natchez Steamboat is right across the street. We did Uber to Frenchmen Street and the WWIi museum.

    It would have been nice to have a dresser or even the luggage racks for placing your suitcase on. We were able to hang up all of our clothes in the closet, but it would have been nice to have a place to put the suitcase for things that don't hang up like undergarments.

    The room was very clean. The bed was super comfy. The shower pressure was amazing. Everything was in perfect working order. And even tho we had a room facing the busy Decatur St, it was well sound proofed and we could barely hear even the loud calliope on the river boat just across from us.

    I didn’t like the property, I loved it. No concerns.

    Perfect location, far enough off Bourbon Street that I was able to get good rest, but about a five minute walk to Bourbon Street to enjoy the bars/restaurants. The courtyard was perfect to enjoy a morning coffee. Bedroom was clean, very nice.

    Loved everything about our stay. All the staff we interacted with were fantastic. We want to give a shotout to everyone - Mr. Wayne, Elysia, Henry and Marlene. They were always welcoming when we came back from exploring the city. Whenever we ask questions, they respond enthusiastically regardless what time of day it was. Also all of their recommendations were on point. We were never disappointed at all. Will definitely stay here again.

    Nothing.

    Stay here. If you're visiting NOLA and want to be close to the French Qtr and Jackson Sq., etc., then you cannot beat The French Market Inn. Decatur is a main thoroughfare, but once inside, it's an oasis. The courtyard is wonderful and charming. The room as perfect - dark, quiet, cool - the perfect thing after a night of music, culture and fun. It's walkable to all the things you want in NOLA - and since Decatur is a main road, you can catch a taxi and easily get to other parts of the city without dealing with the crowds in the quarter. It sounds over the top, but this place is kind of perfect for all the things you want/need for your stay.
