The location was awesome and the parking very convenient right across the street. Great staff! We had a room booked in the middle of Bourbon Street and then read great reviews on this hotel so we changed our hotel to the French market Inn. It was a great decision!

This was absolutely the perfect place for our girls trip. It was a great location for everything. Very safe,clean quiet and I love the decor. You could also conveniently park your car right across the street in the lot for a discount rate. It does not have a fancy exercise room or breakfast, but we do not want that. We wanted to enjoy the French quarter. For us it was an excellent price and we got everything we wanted

The 1st room was nice but in an awful noisy hallway. I was awakened by guests every 20 minutes . What saved our stay was Elysia. She was very kind and helpful. If not for her we would have never wanted to return to your lovely hotel. Claude was also very helpful and nice.

We loved our time at the French Market Inn! It is a wonderful historic building perfectly located in the French Quarter on the banks of the Mississippi. Everything was within walking distance - historic sights, the streetcars, restaurants. The staff were wonderful, especially Kevin at the door, Miss E, the manager and all the people working the front desk. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was small, so I did not have a chair. However, I went to the lobby, which had very comfortable chairs. My morning routine is browsing the internet with a cup of strong coffee. Disappointing there were no coffee shops open at 5 AM. The closest was Starbucks, open at 6 AM, but it was quite a long walk. The Starbucks was at the Sheraton on Canal Street.

Everybody was so nice and friendly! I just love the architecture and the building itself. It has so much charm. I loved sitting in the courtyard and looking at the brick walls with portions of stucco covering the bricks in such an artistic manner. The flickering lanterns add such wonderful ambience.The bedrooms have the brick and stucco walls. The furniture and decor are such period pieces. I loved experiencing that era. The windowsills in my bedroom were made of a thick slab of stone. Everywhere I ate or everything I did was all so conveniently located. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! In fact, if I ever go back to New Orleans, I would definitely stay there. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
