I chose this location because it had parking in the property. However when I checked in I was told the lot was full and could not park there. I had to park at a different location and walk to the hotel.

Well located in the French Quarter, five minute walk from Jackson Square, and two blocks away from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street. Recently updated, this hotel met all of our needs. Minor detail- the luggage cart was inadequate and needs to be replaced. The hotel confirmed that it was on back order.

I love this hotel! It's the best one in the area and the only one we stay at now. It keeps getting better every time the we visit. The beds are great and the rooms are very nice. I love to look and feel of the hotel and the people are very nice. They have made several upgrades since the last time we stayed which made this experience even better than the last. I would highly recommend this hotel when you come to visit New Orleans.

The hotel has been renovated and while it is fresh and clean, it lacks the charm pre-reno. This isn’t a deal breaker but the lack of carpets make the hotel loud and echoey. The doors to the room and the bathroom were not hung properly. Bathroom door didn’t close properly and you could see light from hallway from room door. The tv was difficult to use. We couldn’t turn it off completely and the volume was either loud or off. We had obnoxious neighbors who were loud and we could hear everything they were saying and what they were watching. Also, the safe didn’t work. We put a request in on the 1st day to have it fixed. We stayed for 7 nights and it was never fixed. I would consider staying there again but they aren’t my 1st choice,

My husband and I have long loved Le Richelieu, and this was our first time since renovations. The hotel looks very nice, and the staff was everything wonderful. I miss the bar/restaurant, which is scheduled to reopen later. I’ve always appreciated the on site, gated parking, too. Again, very nice people!

Staff was excellent, our room was large and comfortable and the location was ideal for our purposes. The only issue we had was noisy neighbors in the next room. The sound insulation was not sufficient to mitigate the noise.
