My daughter and I stayed in RM 225 (2 queen beds)overlooking the courtyard and pool. Room was on the small side as expected for the 1700s and 1800s but it was lovely and had just enough of what we needed. Beds were comfy, shower was huge, soaps smell great. Couldn't get the coffee maker to not spit out grounds but there's a very nice coffee shop, PJs, accessible through the inn. Perfect location and quiet on the courtyard side. Has elevator for those staying on 1 of 4 floors. Stairs only for courtyard rooms. Front desk staff were very kind and helpful. They even sent a bottle of champagne to our room for my birthday! Will book tours, etc for you, if you wish. Entrance locks at 10pm but just use your card key to enter. Absolutely no complaints. Very well kept, very quaint and well appointed. No restaurant but everything is within walking distance. Definitely plan to visit again!!! PS.. Inn has a haunted history, as many do there, but we didn't experience anything.

the place was absolutely magical. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. The rooms had such unique old-world charm. We truly can’t wait to come back and stay again soon. It was close to everything you need to see and many yummy food places.

This is always our go-to inn in the French Quarter. My husband grew up in the Quarter and I lived here for 9 years, and this is the only place we stay when we return to visit. If we are lucky we get a balcony room over Decatur. In the heart of the Quarter, close to Jackson Square and many restaurants, and always a wonderful, accommodating staff.

This is our go to hotel in New Orleans. Located on Decatur Street. We love the location - easy walks all throughout the French Quarter. Close enough to Bourbon Street without all the noise. The river is across the street. Super nice courtyard with a small pool when you need to escape the French quarter. Coffee shop next door. Plus, it is a historic building that survived both French quarter fires. Rooms are modern and comfortable — but on the small side.
