Top French Quarter Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"Location can’t be beat. Check in was smooth. Hotel is beautiful and historic. Room was recently renovated and felt brand new. Nice touches throughout including lighting, built-in cabinets, and a great bathroom with excellent water pressure. Will definitely stay here again."

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

4/10 Poor

"$50 a day to park and its valet only. We were not aware of this before we arrived. Our cost was $250. Our toilet handle was hanging off of our toilet when we got our room and we had to have someone come fix it. The front desk workers were not friendly at all. The friendliest staff was the valet workers. Our neighbors had dogs in their room so we were woke up from dogs barking while we were trying to sleep. It is conveniently located to walk places but it was very average for the cost."

Best Western Plus French Quarter Courtyard Hotel

8/10 Good

"Easy access to downtown. The pool was nice to go in after walking around all day. The New Orleans vibe was definitely was present in the hotel. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was a plus, plenty of options to choose from. The room was a little small, but it was perfectly fine. we also felt safe walking back to the hotel at night and during the day . We would recommend it to anyone staying in the areas."

Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans French Quarter/Iberville

6/10 Okay

"The Positive things were a very helpful friendly front desk, and you cannot beat the location. It was only a few blocks from the French Quarter but very quiet except for an occasional siren. Unfortunately, there was no microwave in the room. The biggest issue was the bathroom door was a roller barn door type, and it just would not stay closed. You shut it and it just rolled open. So, there was no privacy in the bathroom."

The Westin New Orleans

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a nice area in terms of being away from the noise. That being said, it is a LONG WALK from the French Quarter. It gets tiring very fast. But, all the rooms were in great condition. That made it worth it. The only real qualm I had with this hotel was the daily fee. On top of the expensive price I paid for the room, there was a daily fee of $34? A little odd because they give us a $15 “credit” a day to use on the bar or their restaurant. But I would have rather just not had the daily fee…."
