Mr Gregory at the front desk was exceptional! He was very friendly and helpful with local places to eat and visit! Our shower wasnt working and he promptly gave us access to another shower and then the hotel fixed it first thing the next morning! The only down side we noticed was they emptied the dumpster at 2am and it was right outside one of our windows.

Greatest little secret in New Orleans
This hotel was Amazing! The service from beginning to the end of my stay was A-1. The room was everything I expected and more. The bathroom was AMAZING! The staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating! The reason I didn’t give this property a 5⭐️ review is because there wasn’t a microwave in the room. I definitely enjoyed all of my food experiences but, I always had leftovers and I had to eat them cold bc I had a fridge to prevent it from going bad but no way to reheat the food.

Loved this property! The Brakeman Hotel entrance also contained the Basin St. Station which is the city of New Orleans' welcome center with adjoining landscaped parking for visitors. The first floor contains a staffed visitor information center featuring educational community exhibits, a performance venue, a walking tour kiosk, and an authentically New Orleans and Louisiana gift shop! The first floor is not a traditional hotel lobby per se but guests have access to the building entrance with the use of their room key. This safety measure was very reassuring, especially after the doors are closed to the public in the late afternoon. Our deluxe room was very nice with a comfy king bed and a wonderful view overlooking St Louis Cemetery No.1 and looking towards the French Quarter.

Friendly staff and well taken care of. Just across the street from the French quarter too. But their private events late at night are loud and some noise transfers between rooms pretty easily.

All we could want in a hotel and more
We so enjoyed our stay at the Brakeman. The historical building was interesting and charming and we appreciated the attractive original building structural material incorporated in the decor: rough hewn timber columns and wooden railroad flooring in hallways. A railroad “museum” occupied the main floor. The rooms were so spacious, with elegant but comfortable decor. Staff were very friendly and helpful; 2 blocks from the heart of the French Quarter; very convenient and reasonable parking. All at a very reasonable price.
