The St. Charles Inn was a nice little surprise! I liked the fact that it’s not a huge place which made it a nice cozy spot! The parking lot was tiny but well lit and safe. There is a Tex-Mex restaurant attached that was full each night during our stay. The staff was very nice and greeted us each time we walked near anyone no matter where we were. The location is great, with restaurants that you could either walk or ride the streetcar to. The room was clean and cozy but very comfortable. The one thing I LOVED was the bed! It was super comfy and had a sleeping pill effect on me every night! I will be back in New Orleans a few more times and I definitely will be back to this hotel!

We had a wonderful stay, will definitely be back again. Price and convenience to the street car where the draw for us, we really enjoyed being away from all the noise of the French Quarter. My only complaint is the elevator broke during our stay, this is to be expected in an old hotel. Carrying our heavy suite cases down 3 flights of stairs was no fun at all.

Great stay!

Came to NOLA for the 1st time. We picked the St Charles Inn due to its location, away from the downtown area, & its proximity to the trolley system. We used the trolley system for our traveling around. Very convenient. Elevator was broke on our arrival reflected in the 4 stars for condition. Breakfast was basic but filled the need. Parking was secured behind locked gate. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure was excellent. Wish bathroom was a bit larger but it’s an older hotel & it had what we needed. Great stay!

Old style charm

The Inn rating would have been excellent however the elevator was out and I have a bad knee and room was on 3rd floor. It was repaired promptly. Also across hall elderly couple had a dog and it was barking yelping at 5:00 am. In addition restaurant allowed owners with dogs to dine and once again this dog also had a loud continuous bark. Every staff member was outstanding and helpful they were all very cordial and would acknowledge you and greet you. I would definitely stay here again. I have stayed in various hotels mainly in the french quarters and surrounding towns but this Inn had a special charm.
