Very quaint...nice big bathtub. Details were taken care of ..beds are SOOO comfy. Staff is very accommodating. While the bottub doesn't have jets, it was relaxing nonetheless. I'd stay in the main house next time to be closer to pool area.

The room was odd. The door didn’t close well and would open up randomly. One of the beds felt like it was just put the the room without thought about size of the space. It was pretty cramped in there. The hotel itself was fine. Staff was sweet. The room was just weird.

It’s an older mansion, with history and character. What I was not happy with was we booked this place for the POOL, but they didn’t tell us it was 2 properties, and we were at the property with no pool. This was in super fine print ONLY on a confirmation email. Seriously. This unto itself, is shady, and I will not return. Properties must be clear about the details, it matters.

I stay at Rathbone every time I travel to New Orleans. It’s a great location. Street parking is never a problem. And I like having the complementary breakfast in the morning. I get all of that for a reasonable price.
