Independent, New Orleans Hotels

Le Richelieu is a wonderful gem in the residential area of the French Quarter. It is in walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and sites that many wish to visit while in New Orleans. The staff is extremely accommodating and the customer service is exceptional. The ladies at the front desk personally made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the night before my half marathon because I wouldn't have had time for breakfast. The bartender was a most personable fellow who told us all about the history of the hotel and the city itself. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I would definitely stay at this hotel again in the future.

Hotel was pretty good considering other reviews were saying horrible things about it. It was actually really nice and comfortable. There was nothing weird or bad about it besides maybe hearing every footstep outside.

the hotel needs alot work outside but very clean room and most of all close to rent a car just 15 min.

Excellent all round, al little out of the way, but accessible by bus and a <$12 can ride back from bourbon street.

This affordable jewel is located two blocks from the French Quarter and offers FREE monitored parking. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was quaint, simple and clean. *The neighborhood is somewhat questionable, thus I wouldn't recommend the Empress to families traveling with children.

We had no trouble finding the place, and enjoyed the peace of staying here. Never felt unsafe, the staff were friendly, lots of parking. It was easy to have this as a home base, and just drive around from there.

Went here for the weekend and really enjoyed this hotel. A great price and location!

I needed a place to stay before catching a ship the next day. I was traveling alone so I wanted to feel safe. This was in the mid-priced range and I was comfortable being there.The security guard gave me a map and told me where to get something to eat and the directions to Bourbon St. The continental breakfast was very nice and they even had someone there to keep things stocked because it was very busy. When I was ready to leave I received another map because I was going to walk to the pier, but wouldn't advise it because it was a longer walk than I anticipated.

Really good experience. The hotel staff was amazing! Very helpful and accommodating. The hotel was small but quaint and we enjoyed ourselves. We ended up staying with 4 people in one room so it was cramped but still worked out well. The breakfast was all carbs which I found entertaining but it was good. Close to Frenchman street which I liked to avoid crowds and get some real local food.

I don't normally write hotel reviews, but I had read reviews about this hotel before going that were not good about the room sizes and hotel staff being rude so I had to write one. I can tell you that there is nothing further from the truth! The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful, especially Ralph the valet. He helped us with our bags and he showed us good local places to eat.I stayed here during Mardi Gras and it was right on the St. Charles parade route. It was also a couple blocks from Bourbon Street. Overall a great location. Would definitely stay here again!!!
