Worth Every Penny----First I would like to thank, Kimberly -Front Desk Concierge. She was able to give suggestions on activities we could experience during our stay. Once our decision was made, she worked with us to book the activity. No Worries-from start to finish. This is what you hope would happen when you are on your vacation. We had such a wonderful time, we plan on visiting again. There was not one staff person who did not greet us and ask if we needed anything. The location is great. The hotel is around the corner from the City Market, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. It is also a short walk to the riverfront. My suggestion-bring comfortable shoes.

We recently stayed at the French Quarter Inn with our 3 kids (15, 14 & 12), & the room had more than enough space for all of us!! The location of this hotel is amazing! Just steps from the City Market as well as plenty of restaurants & shops. We even walked to the aquarium which is where we did an excursion to Fort Sumpter! Although this is an upscale hotel, my kids never felt out of place or unwanted.They loved the mini candy bar in the lobby & the nightly milk & cookies were a hit with all of us! The service was also wonderful. I accidently left the Do Not Disturb sign on our door one day, and I received a text asking if I would like our room serviced. So many hotels no longer even provide daily service, so the fact that they reached out to me to ask, was above & beyond in by book. I've never stayed anywhere that had a pillow menu! I have to say this was one of my favorite features! We tried 3 different types of pillows that were delivered to our room within minutes of us requesting them. I enjoyed the buckwheat pillow so much that I checked the brand they used & ordered one to have at home! We chose to have breakfast brought to our room each morning & not only was our order correct each day, but it was always delivered promptly at the time we had rerequested. The nightly turn down service (complete with a hand written note card with the following days' weather forecast) was just another example of the extraordinary service provided. We can't wait to return!!
