Independent, New Orleans Hotels

Great trip! Will definitely look into staying get at this hotel again in the future. Close to everything in the French Quarter. Even walked to the casino downtown.

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 place was clean on the inside. It was a little older, but the staff was very friendly and helpful. Anything that you can think of to eat or do is right by this hotel. It's very close to New Orleans and lots of new shops around, so if you can over look the outside. I say stay.

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

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

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.

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

Came to New Orleans for my son's college baseball game. Needed a nice (but affordable) hotel in safe area for me and 2 12 year old girls. Found this place in one of the "mystery" Expedia deals offering a "3 star boutique hotel in the Warehouse District" for a heavily discounted price. I went for it, and I am so happy I did! GREAT location just a block from Mother's (restaurant) and a couple blocks from the Aquarium, casino and other riverfront attractions--as well as Convention Center, office buildings, Saks, etc. Hotel was quiet, staff was friendly, room was clean and comfortable. Great vibe with brick walls and hard wood floors, long narrow hallways, 2 different elevators for the various sections of this cool old building. A walk from French Quarter.

best place and fair price. compare with the big dogs.

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.
