The rooms were small and inadequately ventilated. When I got back from dinner, I found my AC wasn’t working properly, and the staff on duty nagged me about wanting to change rooms. It was only when I was sought a refund that they let me change to a different room.

The Historic Mardi Gras Inn is not for everyone but if you appreciate authenticity and character, it’s an experience worth having. Keep in mind that New Orleans is a city built on a swamp, and the inn reflects some of those realities: bugs may come up through the pipes, and at times there’s a lingering sewage smell. The property itself is not modernized, but that’s exactly where its charm lies. The colors, the architecture, and the neighborhood create a nostalgic sense of old-world living, as if you’ve been transported back to the 1800s. The location is ideal. The neighborhood has everything you could need, plenty of parking, quiet streets, and endless opportunities for photographers. It’s a welcoming, very LGBTQ-friendly community where we made friends instantly. Frenchmen Street is just a short walk away, alive with brass-band magic, artists, poets, and some of the best bars and restaurants you’ll find. And the food—absolutely unforgettable. The staff, especially Jasmine, were warm, attentive, and made us feel at home. Our neighbor Matteo was also a highlight of our stay. My only real critique: the sheets need an upgrade. There’s no excuse for stains in such a beautiful, historic setting. Overall, I loved my time here. The inn may not offer modern luxury, but it provides something far rarer—a sense of place, history, and belonging.

Rented a deluxe room in the pictures it looks super cool and everything and very nice but when I showed up and saw it in person, it wasn’t what I was expecting completely different. The customer service desk was awesome and very friendly very helpful. The room smells like from the other tenant that a vomit specially in the garbage can. I did bring my own sheets and blanket, which I was super glad I did due to the fact that the sheets were all stained with black marks on it. For the price it was worth. I’m just really not sure of it to be honest.. but I tell you this that the lady that worked on night shift when I was staying there on Friday she was absolutely amazing super cool, great person and very friendly.

Weekend vacation

If you wore white socks during the stay they turned black. The covers had burnt holes in them. The toilet kept running and was in a very tight space you had to squeeze into the stool area. Cigarette butts under bed side tables, under the beds needed to be cleaned, no dresser or storage for clothes. Staffing was the best part very friendly and helpful. Rooms and the whole place needs upgraded its in very poor condition. Do not stay in the 100 or 200 section, these rooms need to be gutted and redone.
