    I would invest in a proper front desk arraingement. The room where the check in is located has an echo issue, this in no way affects the accomodations. I think the staff would appreciate a front desk set up comparable to other hotels.

    Location is very good for all things French Quarter. Parking is fenced and gated directly adjacent to the property. I was charged $40 per day for parking. The main building on Esplanade is the historic property with an interior courtyard seen in the promo pics. There are shotgun houses across the street from the main parcel at the backstreet.

    I love a Historic hotel and expect some aspects to be rustic, old. This place really needs some help. The bones are there but She needs to be gutted and redone in many aspects. My bathroom was almost a deal breaker. Thankfully, I was ok with about everything else. The bath was Cramped and had NO PLACE to put your toiletries. The fixtures were AWFUL as well. Shower (pressure and heat) was one of the best I've had in the Quarter though.

    Location was great. Available gated parking. Bed was comfortable. Shower was fantastic. Staff was amazing.

    There was nothing I didn't like but I would suggest a blackout curtain for the doorway between bedroom and entrance way, it gets bright in the morning and room needs a little fridge.

    The location was exactly where I liked to be, the charm of the room, clean and comfortable.

    A mini fridge would have been nice. Very quiet except for some noise(talking moving) coming from vents connecting next room. Nothing outrageous. Some rooms are across the street from main hotel. Entrance is a gate. I felt safe but might not be for everyone.

    Location was excellent! Minutes to Frenchman St and the French Quarter. Hotel entrance and courtyard were vintage New Orleans. Reception was accommodating, luggage storage, information, taxi. Quiet street, private entrance. My room was spacious, clean, coffee machine, toiletries. AC worked well.

    Given it’s an older property you can hear everything in the hotel, but given the other guests aren’t loud it’s really not an issue and a trade off for staying somewhere unique

    The only thing I don’t like is that there is not a luggage storage space downstairs for early arrival. This means having to carry suitcases up the very old staircase. This is a minor inconvenience in comparison to all of the positives about this property.

    This is one of our favorite hotels in New Orleans! We love the location. It is really close to Frenchmen St. and the French Market, as well as some of our favorite restaurants. The hotel has a lot of character, antique decor, and a beautiful courtyard area. The staff have always been extremely pleasant.

    No breakfast, but typical bakery and breakfast places close by, so not a big issue.

    Lamothe House is the very first place we landed in when we arrived in NOLA and it was just the perfect depiction of what I had of the city in my head! The building is beautiful, very thoughtfully decorated, super charming. It screams history! I love it, and the staff has been very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect: it's very quiet and at the same time walking distance from all the night life we were looking for (tones of live music in a 10 minute walk radius). Highly recommended!

    La Mothe - A Hidden Gem.

    Absolutely Nothing.

    This hotel is housed in an old New Orleans property with wrought iron balconies. As original as it gets. The rooms are at the rear in a 'chalet' type configuration. Very quiet, very private. Amazingly there is a small pool. Parking is either on the street at the rear ( there is a rear gate ) or across the road in a gated hotel car park which is chargeable. We used that for the rental car. Location is perfect. Out the front entrance and Bourbon Street is 500 yards away. Out the rear entrance and there are two excellent places for breakfast. Ruby Slipper Cafe we visited twice. La Mothe is a hidden gem. A relaxing change from the run of the mill characterless "Chain" hotels.

    I did love the older feel and we stayed in 119 so we were two seconds from the parking lot and away from the front.

    the coffee wasn’t very good — oh well, not a deal breaker

    the bed was very comfortable. the property was quiet but very close to Frenchman’s Street and the French Quarter, so a great location. the building is an historic build — so old - so expect the quaintness of warped floors - but a nice place. the courtyard was nice, even though the whether was cool,spent a little time out there in the AM before we headed out for the day.
