In the heat of NOLA French Market Inn was an oasis. The staff was wonderful and attentive. The property was an amazing location where I could walk to everything I had planned. The only two complaints I have are the rooms were not as clean as I’d like. Some spots on the sheets and the bathroom sink had a hair in it (not mine). I also wish I had a microwave in my room but one was available behind the pool house. I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend the hotel.

Parking is an additional $40 to park across the street and $50 3 blocks away at another hotel they own. Hotel while beautiful front desk staff is less then accommodating w quite the attitude when asking for additional towels or pillows. The reason you need additional towels is due to the fact they are made for a small child and the pillows the same Hotel is beautiful along with pool area Also charge addition if you bring a guest with you to the hotel🙄

The Front Office Manager Elysia Smith made our stay fantastic. She provide a things to see and do list based on what we wanted. She provided us a fantastic restaurant list of places to eat at as well. Our room was great with a view to the Mississippi River which was across the street. The air conditioning made this waterfall like sound which was very calming and the temperature was consistently at 68 degrees in our room. We slept so well for being away from home. Definitely plan on staying here again when we come to New Orleans.
