Everything is excellent. The receptions in the afternoon & at night are great. I had the best sugar cookie ever. The only problem is filling out this survey which is not very accessible for someone who is using screen reader to fill out the survey.

We loved our stay here. Carson at the front desk was so pleasant, along with all of the employees. The extra amenities like the pillow menu and nightly milk and cookies made this a top notch experience. My only disappointment was that the had to do pipe repairs while we were there and had no water from 10 pm to 6 am. We certainly understood that these things happen and the staff was very accommodating. However, considering the higher rate this hotel charges, i think it would have been good business to offer a small accommodation (whether it be money off or a discount on a future stay). The hotel goes above and beyond on all areas and something extra like this would have followed suit. Overall it was a fabulous experience!

We had an excellent stay at French Quarter Inn! Beautiful hotel, with a lot of nice added touches such as the fabulous breakfast and wine and cheese/wine offered every day. The staff were all friendly and attentive to any need we had. The hotel is in a great location, most every tourist thing we did was in walking distance as were all of the wonderful restaurants. We highly recommend French Quarter Inn!
