We were in New Orleans for an entire week. I’m a wedding photographer and I came in to shoot a wedding and then we stayed over the next week to see the jazz festival. This was my third hotel in one week my first hotel was over on Bourbon Street itself nice hotel but the music doesn’t stop until about 3 AM so if you wanna go to sleep before 3 AM, you have to sleep through the music. The location of this hotel being where it is it’s close to Bourbon Street, but you don’t have to listen to the music. It’s very walkable major shopping outlets directly across the street major attractions blocks away. The hotel staff were very knowledgeable and very professional. They understood the meaning of service. The room that we had had a balcony and was very clean and had well appointed. The courtyard made you feel like you were in a very exclusive hotel. It’s very well-maintained with a nice small nice pool very exclusive. I would recommend anyone to stay at the French Market Inn.

The hotel has a classic New Orleans private courtyard with lavish plants and antique water foundations. The staff went out of their way to help with an early arrival and supplied a fan to help me sleep. I would definitely stay there again.
