The mansion was great. The staff were excellent. Emily gave the background on the house and the security guard gave us a wonderful tour even though we got in really late. I would recommend this location to anyone. It’s a must stay!

Excellent escape while on business

We had to add on a night stay while at a conference and booked at the last minute, had an excellent experience, very friendly and accommodating staff, location is great, near Frenchman Street and the Quarter but not in the midst of the noise. Beautiful old style decor, but kept up very well.

New Orleans visit

Our stay at Melrose Mansion was very comfortable with a good free breakfast. However, there was street noise from the Bar next store on Saturday night late and construction noise at 7:30AM Monday morning. Also, no elevator just stairs was offset by prompt service help with luggage.

We were disappointed. The room was Spartan. The sink faucets merely dribbled. There was a light out in the bathroom and it wasn’t fixed after we mentioned it to the staff. The breakfast was poor - no napkins, late delivery, no knives, etc. Our room key didn’t open the front door. We wouldn’t stay here again despite the great location.

Friendly staff. Cute hotel in a charming historical building. About 15 - 20 minutes to the very center of bourbon street. In a quiet neighbourhood. Very nice location away from the noise but steps from the fun.
