I enjoyed staying here at the French Market Inn because it's surrounded by everything. Its so conveniently centered in the French Quarter that you step out into all you need. And it's also attached to an awesome coffee shop, PJ's Coffee. I'm definitely coming back to stay again.

I absolutely loved every aspect of this hotel! The building, the room design, the excellent location, and the fantastic staff all exceeded expectations. My only minor suggestion would be to switch to larger, refillable toiletries in containers instead of small, disposable bottles—it would provide better quantity and reduce plastic waste. Regardless, this hotel will be my first choice the next time I visit NOLA. Tip: Ditch the car! The hotel’s fantastic location puts you within walking distance of all the major attractions and streetcar stops, which is a huge bonus since parking in the area is prohibitively expensive.

You do have to pay additional for parking, but it’s right across the street. The AC kept the room cool but not cold. 3 blocks(5min) from Bourbon st! coffee shop next door. 5min from Cafe Du Monde. Shopping/souviners a few doors down! Cute and quaint little inn!

The French Market Inn was a lovely and quaint hotel. I felt safe in my room and I really appreciated the AC and the daily service. Missed not having a microwave. Also it was really frustrating how many people smoked in the common areas. I was always walking through a cloud of second hand smoke
